A Douglas motorist who crashed has admitted driving while more than triple the drink-drive limit.
Ruben Pretorius, 34, of Grosvenor Road, appeared in court last month, admitting the offence.
He’s currently subject to a suspended sentence, imposed for sending sexual messages to a police officer who was posing as a 12-year-old.
The court heard that Pretorius hit a stationary vehicle at Ballanard Road in Douglas on May 10, while he was driving a Vauxhall Astra.

He refused to take a roadside breathalyser test, saying: ‘I can’t pass.’
However, at police headquarters, he blew a reading of 109, more than triple the limit of 35.
Pretorius will be sentenced on July 15 after a probation report has been prepared.
