A Welling shop owner has been slapped with a £530 fine and a 17-month driving ban for drink driving on Christmas Day.
Rajasuthan Sinnarasa was caught behind the wheel of a Toyota in Kings Highway, Plumstead when he was over the legal alcohol limit for driving.
Sinnarasa, who owns New Welling Food and Wine in Upper Wickham Lane, gave a breath reading of 69 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35 micrograms.
The 53-year-old appeared at Bromley Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, January 27, where he pleaded guilty to drink driving.
He was handed a 17-month driving ban which may be reduced if he completes a course.
Alongside a £530 fine he was ordered to pay £85 costs and a £212 surcharge.
