Man described as 'pillar of his community' admits drink driving
A STONEMASON who crashed his car into a metal bridge near Langwathby was still more than twice the drink drive limit five hours later. At Carlisle's Rickergate court, 36-year-old Lee Forster, whose lawyer described him as a 'pillar of the community' in Hunsonby where he lives, admitted drink driving and failing to report an accident. Prosecutor Diane Jackson described what happened. Police were called to the scene of an accident near Langwathby shortly after midnight on March 31. The officers found the defendant's damaged Nissan car abandoned and blocking the A686 after it had crashed into the metal river bridge.. 'The car had sustained significant front offside damage,' said Mrs Jackson. The car was blocking the road. Its airbags had deployed, and the front offside wheel was bent. There was also damage to the road surface and scratches to bridge metalwork. Inside the car, police found several cans of lager, some of them open. Officers traced the car's registered keeper but also had a call from the defendant's wife, who told them her husband had crashed the car. Because there had been an accident, the police took Forster to The Cumberland Infirmary. 'On route, he made the comment to officers, saying: 'I'll tell you what – I'll never ever drink drive as I did tonight,' continued Mrs Jackson. It was five hours before an alcohol blood test could be conducted. It showed Forster was a little over twice the legal limit. There were no relevant convictions on the defendant's record, his last offence being a vehicle theft in 2010. The prosecutor added that the offence was aggravated by Forster being under the influence of alcohol. Lewis Hazeldine, defending, said the defendant accepted his actions were entirely unacceptable and he recognised the danger that drink driving causes. The lawyer said: 'He'd been drinking that day with a friend, which is itself out of character. In relation to the cans of lager in the car, Mr Forster had a passenger and he was the person drink the lager. The defendant accepted he made a 'stupid mistake.' Forster had never intended to evade responsibility, but his phone had a flat battery and thus it was his wife who had called the police when he arrived home. Mr Hazeldine added that Forster had been a successful stonemason for more than 20 years and the inevitable driving ban on him – living as he does in a village with few transport links – would have a big impact. The lawyer added: 'Clearly, he is a hardworking man who is a pillar of his community, who regularly helps at his church and local swimming pool. He has shown clear and genuine remorse.' Imposing a fine of £1,250 and an 18-month ban, the lead magistrate told the defendant: 'This was a very serious collision. You were very lucky that nobody was hurt. "The alcohol in your [system], even after five hours, was dangerously high. You had a passenger in the car.' The defendant must also pay a £500 victim surcharge and £85 costs. He was offered a drink driver rehabilitation course, which if completed by a deadline will reduce his ban by 18 weeks. The defendant's blood alcohol was recorded as 189mcg per 100mls of blood. The legal limit is 80mcg.
