Mark Stocks, mitigating, said Bond consumed three pints of beer and made “an error of judgment” when he decided to drive home from a night out with friends.

Bond, aged 27, of Lime Tree Avenue, Retford, admitted drink driving when he appeared at Nottingham Magistrates Court, on Tuesday.

He was fined £200 with £85 court costs and an £80 surcharge. He was banned from driving for 36 months.
