BANNED: Riseley (not shown) also fined £500
A drink-driving car salesman who refused to provide police with a breath test has been banned for 40months and fined £500.
North-West Evening Mail report that David Stuart Riseley, 25, from Barrow, pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen in Furness Magistrates’ Court last Tuesday.
Riseley was stopped by police on March 11, with a roadside test finding he had 88mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath – more than twice the 35mg legal limit.
However, when taken to Barrow police station he refused to provide a further specimen.
On top of his ban and fine, Riseley was ordered to pay court costs of £85 and a £50 victim surcharge.
Magistrates also heard that he would be fired from his job following the conviction.
It is the second time Riseley has been banned from driving; he was disqualified in August 2011 after being found drunk at the wheel.

Well deserved. Many I hope he has to provide medical evidence to prove he is off the drink before he gets his licence back. And an extended retest would be good.
