A Garda conducts a roadside breath test. (File photo)
A man who was arrested for drink-driving signed himself into hospital after the incident, a court has heard.
Michael Callow, 35, appeared at Letterkenny District Court after being stopped by Gardai at Feddyglass, Raphoe, on August 28, 2023.
The driver had come to Garda attention after he crossed over the white line.
A breath sample showed a reading of 78 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
His solicitor, Mr Donough Cleary, told the court that the incident has been a 'catalyst' for his client.
He said Callow immediately attended the hospital and that the computer programmer has been on disability benefit since.
Judge Alan Mitchell fined Callow, of Oak Country Manor in Derry, €200 and banned him from driving for three years.
