You can't make it up #2

Alcohol addiction expert Paul "Rowdy" Yates was fined and banned from driving for... being over the alcohol limit while driving.

The research fellow at the Scottish Addiction Studies Group was facing trial for one alleged drink-driving charge when police pulled him over in his 4x4 and breathalysed him. This charge he admitted, while denying the previous one, when his weaving vehicle led the police to speak to him at his home.

He claimed he had drunk a small amount in the pub, driven home, and then had a few whiskies in his shed - and so when the police breathalysed him he was over the limit.

His lawyer said in court that his client: "does find it ironic that he finds himself before the court for these offences."
