A motorcyclist caught at a roadside breath test checkpoint pleaded guilty to drink-driving.

Magistrates’ Court heard on Monday that David Lewis, 36, was stopped on Friday near the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute on East Broadway near Hamilton.

He told police officers when questioned: “I have been to a few places in town.”

Lewis was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and taken to Hamilton Police Station.

A breath test revealed that Lewis had 154 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood — close to double the legal limit of 80mg/100ml.

Magistrate Tyrone Chin fined Lewis, from Paget, $1,500 and banned him from the road for 18 months.
