A 61-year-old drink-driver, Jon Sigurdor Magnusson, has been banned from driving for five years and given a suspended sentence.
Magnusson was found to be more than three and a half times the limit, blowing a reading of 124 after his pick-up truck nearly collided with another vehicle.
He nearly collided with a car in Finch Road and a witness said that Magnusson then got out of the truck, staggering and struggling to walk.
The incident occurred on August 24, when Magnusson was driving a Volkswagen Amarok pick-up truck down St Barnabas Hill.
