Sacre Bleu! Piaggio Pratfall Costs Boozy Franchman His Licence


A Frenchman spotted by police falling off his trendy scooter while nearly three times the drink-drive limit has been fined and banned from the roads for two years.

Alexandre Chausserlaud, 32, of Digby Crescent, Finsbury Park, North London was riding his Piaggio in the City of London at 1:40am when he fell off.

He pleaded guilty at City of London Magistrates' Court to riding the scooter in Circus Place (pictured) on October 22 after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it on his breath was 103 microgrammes - the legal limit is 35.

"I was irresponsible, it could have been worse," Chausserlaud told the magistrates who fined him £1,000, with £90 costs and disqualified him from driving for two years.
