  • Jail for 'danger' drink driver caught at triple the alcohol limit after

    From Simon Mason@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 11 03:39:31 2023
    Matthew Partridge was caught at the wheel of a silver Audi on the B4397 between Much Wenlock and Broseley on Monday.

    A breath test showed he had 105 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, three times the limit of 35mcg.

    At Kidderminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday, the 49-year-old from Stretton Road, Much Wenlock, admitted drink-driving before being jailed for 10 weeks.

    The court noted: "Imprisonment reasons: the offence(s) are so serious that only a custodial sentence can be justified. Reason for custody: danger to the public and repeated offending of a similar nature."

    Partridge was also banned from driving for 1,860 days, which is five years.

    He was also ordered to pay a £154 victim surcharge.

    Shhh - just make out that you necked a bottle of whisky AFTER you got out of the car - it might work.

    "[He] ...admitted drink-driving before being jailed for 10 weeks"

    Well, he'd find it more difficult to do any drink-driving *after* he'd
    been jailed.

    Don't leave it in your footwell like a recent chavscum driver did.
