A drink driver crashed into a speed bump and traffic cone after going to a Paul Weller gig in Newcastle.
Ronald McGhie had been drinking at the concert with his brother when he decided to get behind the wheel of VW Golf in order to get back to his hotel. A court was told that concerned witnesses rang the police as they believed the 48-year-old was intoxicated and officers arrived at the scene, outside Northumbria University, soon after.
Mcghie, who had collided with a speed bump and traffic cone, was spoken to and arrested after failing a roadside breath test. He later gave a reading of 67mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath when the legal limit is just 35.
