He also admitted to driving with excess alcohol the previous day.

He was also banned from driving for 30 months, to be reduced by 228 days if he completes a course.
Speaking of Mr Islam's actions, SC Sutton said: "It was a great example of how support from members of the public can be vital in helping us to tackle crime and catch offenders."

Firm: British anxiety levels 'fell after election result'published at 13:06 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2020
PA MediaStress levels among British people dropped after Boris Johnson's election victory, a Nottingham health firm has claimed.
Medichecks has spent the past two years monitoring cortisol levels in the saliva of more than 2,000 volunteers.
It said detected levels of the stress hormone peaked last spring during Brexit uncertainty in the build-up to Theresa May's resignation but dropped significantly following Mr Johnson's win in December.
Image source, Getty ImagesDr Sam Rodgers, who analysed the findings, said: "The data from these spring 2019 readings is significant, because it mirrors what the testers were feeling at the exact time the UK was facing considerable political uncertainty.
"From June 2019 onwards, high stress levels average at around 24% of testers but we see a massive decrease in those reporting high stress in December, with levels dropping to 15% - the lowest of the year.
"This is unusual because December is generally a stressful time of year - and that is backed up by our 2018 figures.
"The fact that the Christmas period of 2019 bucked the trend could again be attributed to Brits taking a sigh of relief after the election, or it could be down to them taking some well-needed rest over the festive season."

Taxi driver's apology after woman loses part of legpublished at 10:57 Greenwich Mean Time 31 January 2020
Amy Woodfield
BBC NewsA woman who lost part of her leg when she was hit by a taxi in New York has had an apology from the driver.
Sian Green-Lord, from Leicester, was on holiday in Manhattan in 2013 when the crash occurred, causing her life-changing injuries.
Taxi driver Faysal Himon has never faced criminal charges and blames a cyclist he was arguing with before the crash.
Mrs Green-Lord, 29, said Mr Himon had never apologised to her or shown remorse for what happened.
During her appearance on the ITV show Lorraine yesterday, the presenter told Mrs Green-Lord the driver had sent them an apology.
The driver reportedly told the show: "I just want to say to her I'm sorry.
"I felt bad every moment when I remember that day."
He also asked for Mrs Green-Lord's forgiveness - something she said is hard because of how much time has passed.
She told the show: "It's almost like I've had to come to terms with the no apology that now I'm getting it, it almost doesn't mean anything."
Had she had the apology earlier, she said it would have helped with her recovery.

Mr Crosbie said that if trade deal talks are unsuccessful and the UK had to use World Trade Organisation tariffs, it would be "very damaging" for Toyota in the UK.
