The court heard how neither of the defendants, who appeared via a videolink to Durham prison, had any recent convictions in England or Wales.
Translates to, this pair of Walters had never been pulled up before.
Good luck in keeping them off the road for 5.5 years though.

"We extremely regret what happened and we would like you to forgive us and let us go because our children are due to start school on the 1st September.
“Thank you very much for your understanding.”

Well at least it wasn’t:
“My eyesight was a bit blurred, so I thought I’d go for a drive.”

Ive got a ten day eyesight test booked in Tenerife in October (well I’ve just booked the hire car) do you think that will wash?
Don’t you have to drive to barnard castle to check your eyesight.

I’m glad I missed these two characters, Ron Perry’s is just a short drive up the road from my gaff
I’m not sure how many units of alcohol it takes to put you almost three times over the limit, but I do recall from my younger days that even when I’d had a bit of a skinful I’d still be well aware which way the driver should turn when he exited the garage!

it can be an easy mistake when abroad in a brief lapse of sanity,though it ends in a split second with a oops christ,i nearly made a whoopsie.
these dudes get brownie points for cracking on oblivious to it…therin lies the difference.
It’s not just EE drivers that have a drink ,at the bar inside the ferry terminal in the port of Portsmouth , plenty of UK drivers knocking back five pints prior to boarding for France or Spain in the 90’s .
Once on board , hit the bar and disco and clamber in the top bunk waking up drivers sharing a cabin for four . Arrive in France ,bar before doing a ten hour drive , with a jug of wine for lunch and the evening meal at the Rouitiers and French custom dictates you stimulate the digestion with a digestif and to aid digestion after the meal ,an apperif such as Calvados apple brandy .
One lad I knew had a drinking problem , parked up late at night in thick fog , woke up to the police banging on the door , he was in a live lane , a night in the cells and fine . One night in Rugby truck stop ,a Pole decided to leave in his truck but unable to walk due being tanked up , keys were took off him , two PCSOs arrived but couldn’t do anything as on private land and told him to sleep it off .
A weekend off in UK lay by , would drive anyone to drink due to boredom , and if any EE driver was away from home for months or more , could being homesick make them drown their sorrows ?
If you see them in the lay by , sometimes there is nowhere to go for a walk , with the cab curtains drawn , you do wonder how they pass their time .
