Road Safety Expert Caught In Charge Of His Vehicle While Twice The Alcohol Limit

A road safety expert with the City of Westminster and Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea was caught in charge of his car while double the drink-drive limit.

University of East London graduate Spencer Anienwelu, 40, is a Highways Safety Inspector with a company responsible for reducing risks on the two boroughs' roads.

Anienwelu, of Haskard Road, Dagenham was convicted at Willesden Magistrates Court of being in charge of a Citroen C4 on Aerodrome Road, Hendon on January 23 while above the alcohol limit.

When breath-tested by police he had 71 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit is 35.

He was not charged with the more serious offence of drink-driving.

Last week Anienwelu was fined £300, with £150 costs and ordered to pay a £30 victim surcharge.

His driving licence was endorsed with ten penalty points.

Anienwelu has many years experience in the highways/civil engineering sector  and is responsible for important safety inspections and maintenance of the roads.

The private company he is employed by, Colas VolkerHighways URS (CVU), also works closely with Transport for London maintaining their Red Routes.
