A motorist who crashed his car into another vehicle on a busy roundabout was found to be more than three times the legal drink-drive limit.

Kestutis Raubiska was at the wheel of his Vauxhall Insignia on the Four Elms roundabout in Wainscott near Rochester, when he ploughed into another vehicle and not only was he over the legal limit he was also found to be driving without insurance.

When police arrived at the scene on June 8, the 45-year-old failed a roadside breath test and was arrested.

At the police station, further tests revealed he had 106 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the legal limit is 35.

Raubiska, formerly of St Johns Road, Dartford, but now living in Dagenham, Essex, was charged with drink-driving and driving without insurance and admitted both offences when he appeared before magistrates in Sevenoaks on November 4.

James Nichols, prosecuting, said: “He collided with a car at the roundabout and blew 106 back at the station.”

The court heard no one was seriously injured during the smash.

But magistrates told Raubiska his high-level reading meant they would place him on a medium-level community order.

The chairman of the bench added: “Not only were you driving without insurance you are also driving with excess alcohol and you collided with another car and you could have killed or caused serious harm.”

For the excess alcohol offence, they placed him on a 12-month community order which will see him complete 100 hours of unpaid work and attend 15 rehabilitation sessions.

They also banned him from driving for 25 months but told him he would receive no separate penalty for the no insurance offence, but that his licence would be endorsed. If he completes a drink-driving course, his ban will be reduced by 25%.

Raubiska was also ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £114 and £85 court costs.if he
