A DRINK driving pensioner became 'aggressive' when customers tried to stop him driving out of a pub car park after he sank a few pints.

Raymond Khan's last conviction had been in 1970 before the 69-year-old decided to have a few drinks at the Westcroft pub in Droitwich and drive home.

Khan of Woodman's Rise, Droitwich appeared before magistrates in Worcester on Thursday where he admitted driving with excess alcohol following the incident on October 2 this year.

The evidential reading, taken at the police station, was 80mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, more than twice the legal limit of 35mcg.

Ralph Robyns-Landricombe, prosecuting, said police received a call from the pub at 11.22pm on October 2 'that a man had drunk four pints and was attempting to drive off'.

"People were trying to stop him going into the vehicle but he became aggressive and then drove off" said Mr Landricombe.

Officers located the defendant in Woodman's Rise in the driver's seat with the key in the ignition.

"He was unsteady on his feet, smelled of alcohol and initially refused to provide a specimen" said the prosecutor. However, officers warned him if he did not provide a sample he would be arrested for failure to provide.

He blew 84mcg at the roadside and was arrested for being over the prescribed limit. The court heard that his last conviction was in 1970 and was not relevant to the offence.

Shaun Newey, defending, asked that Khan be given full credit for his early guilty plea. "He is a man who has held a driving licence for 53 years but today will lose it. This is the first and last time he has acted in such a way" said the solicitor.

Khan had been invited to the pub and had 'a couple of cans at home' before he arrived.

"He bitterly regrets that" said Mr Newey. He also explained that Khan's wife suffered from COPD and had limited mobility so the driving ban would have an impact upon her.

Mr Newey added: "He's very sorry for what happened and wishes to assure the court it will never happen again."

Magistrates banned him from driving for 20 months. However, they offered him the drink drive rehabilitation course which, if completed successfully, will reduce the length of the disqualification by 20 weeks. Khan said he would like to take the course.

He was fined £120, ordered to pay costs of £135 and a victim surcharge of £34. A fines collection order was made which gives magistrates extra powers to recover the money.
