80-year-old Dunmurry motorist was over twice drink drive limit at Belfast International Airport
An 80-year-old motorist was more than double the drink drive limit at a filling station at Belfast International Airport.
Sean McCabe, of Netherlands Drive, Dunmurry, had an alcohol in breath reading of 76 - the legal limit is 35 - on January 23 this year.
Earlier, he had been driving "very slowly" and scraped his vehicle at a bridge at Dungonnell Road.
A motorist followed him to the filling station and "blocked" the vehicle in to prevent him from driving off before police arrived. When police arrived they noticed damage to the vehicle.
A defence barrister told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, on Tuesday, the incident was "completely out of character" and his client was never before a court before and was "extremely embarrassed and ashamed".
The defendant was banned from driving for a year; was fined £300; and will have re-sit his test to get back on the roads.
