A drink-driver nearly three times the limit was followed by two motorists after he almost crashed into one of them.
Adam Stepien (58), of Crocus Walk, Spalding, almost hit another motorist at the mini roundabout on Rose Lane and Spalding Road, Pinchbeck, on November 11 last year.
Rebecca Ritson, prosecuting, told Spalding magistrates that the driver of a 4x4 and the man whose car was almost hit turned and followed Stepien to an address and police were called.
Stepien denied driving with 103 microgrammes of alcohol in breath, but the case was found proved at a trial in June.
Miss Ritson said Stepien told police he hadn’t drunk more alcohol since the time of the accident, but that was not the line he pursued at trial.
At Thursday’s resumed hearing, Stepien was banned from driving for two years, given a six-month community order with 120 hours unpaid work and ordered to pay a £60 victim surcharge. He can cut six months off the ban if he completes a course.
Solicitor Rachel Stevens, mitigating, said Stepien lost his job as a lorry driver as a result of an interim ban and is looking for work.
