A CONSTRUCTION worker employed on the new retail park being built in Fort William got to keep his driving licence, despite being found sleeping off a marathon drinking spree at the wheel of his van.
Aidan Maguire, of Taigh Easlinne, Kentallen, had appeared for trial at Fort William Sheriff Court on Tuesday after pleading not guilty to a charge of driving on June 25 this year, in Monzie Square, Fort William, with a breath alcohol reading of 121mg in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 22mg.
Building site supervisor Maguire had further denied driving a van which was unlicensed.
