Post subject:  Taxi driver found four times over limit
A TAXI driver who was more than four times the legal limit was drinking alcohol on his journey back from a fare.

Thomas Middlemiss was negotiating a bend and struck a cyclist on the remote B7060 road near Selkirk on November 23.

The 60-year-old of The Terrace, St Boswells, was found to have a breath/alcohol count of 142 microgrammes - the legal limit being 35.

At Selkirk Sheriff Court on Monday, defence lawyer Bruce Bett said his client was a first offender who was a contract taxi driver.

He said Middlemiss had been returning from a trip to Broughton and consumed alcohol in the car on the way back.

Mr Bett added that his client had lost his job as a result of the offence.

Sheriff Mochael Grady banned Middlemiss from the road for two years and fined him £500.
