A MAN who was three times over the drink-drive limit drove into the path of a police car, causing it to swerve, a court heard.
Giles Bridge, prosecuting, told Harrogate magistrates that David Lupton, 31, pulled out of Wharfedale Avenue, Harrogate, in front of a marked police car. When tested, he was over the limit.
Lupton, of Ford Green, Fishergreen, Ripon, pleaded guilty to drink-driving and was banned from driving for 30 months, ordered to do 60 hours of community work and told to pay £50 costs.
