A two-time drink-driver, caught early one morning behind the wheel while twice the limit following a boozy birthday celebration the night before, has been banned from the roads for three years.
Frank Kiyimba, 41, of Peabody Square, Southwark, pleaded guilty to driving his Audi A6 in Bishopsgate on October 3 with 80 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit is 35.
City of London Magistrates' Court (pictured) heard it was 6.15am on a Sunday morning when suspicious police stopped Kiyimba due to the manner of his driving.
"I am very sorry I was drunk on the day," he told the court.
Kiyimba, who was banned for a year in 2004 for drink-driving, added: "I was coming from a birthday party and desperately need the use of a car."
He was fined £350, with £90 costs and disqualified from driving for three years.
