A Royal Guard soldier crashed a pal’s car into another vehicle in a Stirling street while more than four times over the drink-drive limit.
Private in the Royal Regiment of Scotland, Lewis Talbot, based at HM Queen’s Guard, Ballater, had been visiting a friend in Stirling during time off when the incident occurred on the afternoon of July 21 this year.
When he appeared at Stirling Sheriff Court last Wednesday this week the 24-year-old admitted charges of driving a car without the consent of its owner, driving without insurance, driving without a licence, failing to give details following a collision, and driving while the proportion of alcohol in his breath was 98mg in 100ml. The limit being 22mg.
