A MULL driver has been banned for 20 months and fined more than £1,000 for driving while three times over the alcohol limit, colliding with two parked cars and then lying to the police.
James William Boa, 23, of Antium Farm, Glen Road, Dervaig, pleaded guilty to driving a car without due care and attention, while measuring 75mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath where the drink-driving limit is 22mg, on Tobermory’s Main Street on the night of February 12.
Procurator fiscal Eoin McGinty told Oban Sheriff Court on Monday June 19 that police received reports of the collisions and that the driver had fled the scene. Boa also called the police to say he had hit a parked car.
