Two glasses of lunchtime wine later washed down with a couple of pints were enough to land a learner motorcyclist with a road ban after police pulled him over in the City of London.
Michael Austin Kane, 39, of Oak Tree Close, Loughton, Essex, employed by the Westminster Drug Project, was stopped and failed a roadside breath-test.
He pleaded guilty at City of London Magistrates' Court (pictured) today (Monday) to riding his black Piaggio scooter in Bishopsgate on October 4 while nearly double the drink-drive limit and failing to display L-plates.
He claimed to feel fit to ride the scooter despite enjoying the lunchtime tipple with his sister, followed by two pints of beer with a drinking buddy.
Kane was fined £250, with £85 costs and disqualified from driving for twelve months.
