A Paisley joiner who was almost five times the legal drink drive limit while driving home after a Monday night booze session realised he was too drunk and ditched his car in the middle of the road.
Steven McAuley spent his 33rd birthday at Paisley Sheriff Court and admitted driving while under the influence of alcohol on April 11.
The self-employed joiner had 105mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath when he made the decision to drive home after spending the night in the pub after work.
