Co Antrim motorist sentenced for third drink driving related incident tells court he is 'deeply ashamed' that he put people at risk

The 27-year-old man pleaded guilty to failing to provide an evidential specimen and driving whilst disqualified on February 27 this year in the Stiles Way area of the town.

Adam Blaszkiewicz, of Dunadry Road near Antrim, told Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, he has stopped drinking and is "motivated" to "re-build" his life.

District Judge Nigel Broderick said it was the third time the defendant "had been involved with drink driving" and as an alternative to custody he ordered him to do 180 hours of Community Service and he has been banned from driving for four years.
