Drink-driver from Wisbech banned for three years after being seen swerving between lanes and mounting grass verge on A47 near Eye




A drink-driver from Wisbech who was seen swerving between lanes and mounting the grass verge has been banned from driving for three years.

Ionut-Lucian Delivasile, 43, was stopped by officers on the A47, near Eye, at about 8.30pm on August 7 last year.

A member of the public had called the police reporting his Volkswagen Passat swerving between lanes and going onto the grass verge.

Delivasile, of Victoria Road, admitted being drunk and failed a roadside breath test, later blowing 123mcg in custody – more than three times the legal limit of 35mcg.

He appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, February 4, where he was sentenced to ten weeks in prison, suspended for a year.

He was also handed a ten-day rehabilitation activity requirement, a 120-day alcohol abstinence requirement, and a three-year driving disqualification after he admitted drink-driving.

PC Simon Coe, who investigated, said: “Delivasile got behind the wheel knowing he was drunk, putting both himself and other road users at risk.

“I would like to thank the member of the public who contacted us with their concerns so we could stop him before any harm was caused.”
