An uninsured drink driver was snared while making a 4am dash to the supermarket for booze.
Martin Hodgson was behind the wheel of his stepdaughter's car, which he was not legally allowed to drive, when he was pulled over in Tynemouth, North Tyneside.
A court heard that the 64-year-old failed a roadside breath test, later giving a reading of 79mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, when the legal limit is 35mcg.
