A motorist from north Suffolk has been convicted of drink-driving for the second time in three years after travelling at more than 90mph at night on the A14.

As part of our Name and Shame campaign, we have vowed to publicise court cases involving those who put the lives of others at risk by drinking and driving.

Christopher Byne's Toyota Corolla was clocked doing 91mph when he was more than one-and-a-half times the drink-drive limit.

The 28-year-old of Coldham Lane, Gislingham, near Eye, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol when he appeared before South East Suffolk Magistrates' Court in Ipswich.

The offence took place on December 18 on the A14 at Sproughton.

A breath test showed he had 59 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal alcohol limit is 35.

Byne was banned, from driving for 36 months, fined £500 and ordered to pay £50 to the victims' fund and £85 costs.

A 22-year-old man has banned for driving for three years after being convicted from drink driving for second time in two years.

Jack Godden, who lived at Weedon Way in King's Lynn at the time of the offence on December 21 last year, was also told to complete 100 hours of unpaid work.

Godden, who also appeared at King's Lynn Magistrates' court yesterday, pleaded guilty to taking a vehicle without the owner's consent and criminal damage.

He was found to have 81 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.

Jakki Upton, mitigating, said that the incident has had a 'devastating effect' on the mechanic.

In Norwich Magistrates' Court yesterday, James Millar, 44, of Heath Road, Sheringham, admitted driving his Mercedes while more than double the legal limit on Palace Street in Norwich at about 6.20pm on December 19. He crashed into a concrete bollard.

Lisa Britton, prosecuting, said he was 'staggering around and looking drunk' and 'running out in front of cars'. He had 73 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.

Simon Nicholls, mitigating, said Millar was a man of good character.

Millar was fined £600, will pay a £60 victim surcharge and £85 in costs.

He will be banned from driving for 19 months but was offered a course to reduced the ban length.

Joel Gizzi, of Bulwer Close, Buxton, was arrested on December 18 on Crown Road.

He had 61 microgrammes of alcohol in his breath.
