A man who admitted being nearly four times over the drink drive limit has been banned from driving for three years and given a suspended jail term.

Amar Singh, 25, was found to have 137 micrograms of alcohol in 100ml of breath while driving a Porsche Taycan Turbo S Cross Turismo on the M4 near Reading on 30 March. The legal limit is 35 micrograms.

Singh, of Boxley Road, Chatham, Kent, was sentenced at Reading Magistrates' Court on 22 May.

He was given an eight-week jail term, suspended for 12 months, and banned from drinking alcohol for 120 days.

He will be able to cut the length of his three year driving ban by 36 weeks if he completes a rehabilitation course by 13 June, 2027.

Singh was also told to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £154.
