Sales Engineer charged with driving with excess alcohol.  The defendant purchased a bottle of wine on his way to work and purposely consumed half the bottle in the supermarket car park before completing his two-minute journey to work.  Another shopper reported this to the police who attended his place of work and breathalysed him upon his arrival.  Expert evidence concluded the defendant could not have been drunk at the time of driving due to the absorption rate of alcohol.  The defendant’s conviction and disqualification from driving was subsequently quashed on appeal.  He was further awarded his costs.
