Wigan man finally admits to drink-driving offence

Having initially pleaded not guilty to the offence, Craig Reid, 32, of Langdale Road, Orrell, appeared in the dock at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates’ Court to change his plea before a trial took place.

The hearing was told he had been stopped by police as he drove a Vauxhall Combo van in Garswood, on November 27 last year, and gave a reading of 95 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath.

The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.

The case was adjourned until April 26 to consider whether there are any special reasons not to endorse his driving licence or ban him.
