A man who rode an electric scooter while three times the liquor limit has been banned from the road for 25 months.

Robert Rowley, 34, of Marshall Street, Leigh, was stopped by police on Sandringham Drive on December 3 and breathalysed, Wigan justices heard. He gave a reading of 104 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath (the legal limit is 35). Rowley admitted drug-driving, being uninsured and not having a licence. He can reduce his ban to 25 weeks if he takes a course for drink-drivers. Costs, a victim services surcharge and fine mean he has £300 to pay.
