Ms Allsop said: “He smelled strongly of alcohol and was struggling to stand upright - he told officers he had a pint and a Jack Daniels and Coke after work.

“He said he was going around a sharp bend when he was dazzled by the headlights of another vehicle.”

Wragg, of Loundes Road, Unstone, admitted drink driving.

District Judge Andrew Davison told Wragg: “I don’t believe that you had one Jack Daniels and Coke - unless it was a pint.”
