Boozed-up taxi driver spotted careering ‘all over the road’ in Bassetlaw https://www.worksopguardian.co.uk/news/ ... aw-4480985 A boozed-up taxi driver who was more than twice over the limit when he careered "all over the road" in Bassetlaw must find a new line of work, magistrates have heard. Police officers stopped Ayub Kassaar in a red Toyota Corolla, on Straight Mile, Ranby, in the early hours of December 22, said prosecutor Andrew Conboy. He smelled of alcohol and a breath test revealed he had 83 microgrammes of alcohol when the legal limit is 35 microgrammes. The court heard he has no previous convictions and he received full credit for his early guilty plea. Kassaar, who represented himself, told magistrates: "I have never been in court before. I am really, really, deeply sorry. "I have been going through a lot of stress. I have been struggling financially. I have lost my job." Kassaar, aged 33, of Welland Road, Dogsthorpe, Peterborough, admitted driving with excess alcohol when he appeared at Mansfield Magistrates Court, on Tuesday. The presiding magistrate told him: "If you had veered across the road and driven into someone the consequences could have been significant. "You were a professional driver. That's gone. I am sure we won't see you again. We have been exceptionally generous to you today." He was banned from driving for 18 months but a rehabilitation course could reduce the disqualification by 25 per cent if he successfully completes it before a set date. He was fined £120 and he was ordered to pay a £48 statutory surcharge which is levied on all fines and £85 court costs. |

Just off the A1 so presumably on his way back home form Retford. I suspect not working but on a social visit Judging by his address he lives close to the heart of the asian community so must have plenty of relatives and friends who can help him out with a job BUT will they help him or shun him as he was caught inebbriated ? |

The bloke was a tit of the highest order, and his punishment does meet his crime IMO. However he isn't a mass murderer and I hope his community does give him a job, or helps him get a job, and he gets his life back together. |
