Shaun Williams was sharp to reply when police charged him with drink-driving, a court was told yesterday.
Williams, 19, immediately confessed: "Guilty as sin", said Ian Bradshaw, prosecuting.
He was two-and-a-half times the alcohol limit when police pulled him up at 2.40am at the wheel of a white Vauxhall Vectra in Eston, Teesside. They had spotted him "tailgating" another car while flashing his lights at it, Teesside magistrates heard.
He then clipped the kerb as he left the High Street.
Williams, of Ingram Road, Middlesbrough, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol on April 22. He was disqualified for 22 months and fined £200. He agreed to be bound over in the sum of £50 for six months after denying using threatening words and behaviour in Redcar police station.
