Three year motoring ban for Peterborough man caught drinking and driving twice in a month
Driver crashed into recovery truck
A man who was caught drink driving in Peterborough twice in one month has been handed a three-year motoring ban.
Ibrahim Agboola, 37, was arrested after his car was in a collision with a recovery truck in Bishops Road, Peterborough city centre on February 22.
Despite initially leaving the scene, he returned and admitted to being the driver and failed a roadside breath test.
He was bailed pending a court appearance on March 28 but two weeks before that hearing he was arrested again after he was found drink driving in Coltsfoot Drive, Woodston, on March 14.
Agboola, of Almond Road, Dogsthorpe, Peterborough, admitted two counts of drink driving at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on April 22, where he was disqualified from driving for three years.
He is also required to complete a 20-day rehabilitation activity requirement and pay a £200 fine.
PC Shauna Dwyer, who investigated, said: “Getting behind the wheel while intoxicated is incredibly dangerous, and it is fortunate that no one was hurt.”
