Jimi James Fletcher, 26, blew a frighteningly high reading of 0.201 when he was caught on Yeppoon s Scenic Highway on April 17. Fletcher came to the attention of police at 2am because of his manner of driving. The court heard that Fletcher, a roofer, was driving a friend home from the Strand Hotel when he was intercepted by police. It was told that Fletcher had no criminal history and a very limited traffic history. Magistrate Philippa Beckinsale said this blood alcohol reading was a frighteningly high reading and the penalty had to reflect that. Fletcher was fined $1200 and disqualified from driving for 10 months.
