And finally… last gasp
Reading time: 1 minute
A banned drink-driver in Northern Ireland is appealing his conviction claiming he is a puffer not a boozer and that he was over the limit as a consequence of vaping an e-cigarette.
Thirty-five year old Aaron Galbraith was found to be twice over the limit when breathalysed but is now seeking to overturn his second drink driving conviction by relying on expert analytical testimony in a legal aid-funded appeal.
It is believed to be the first UK appeal against drink driving to seek to blame e-cigarettes.
Galbraith’s appeal was lodged by solicitor Stewart Ballentine at Ballymena Magistrates Court and District Judge Peter King fixed bail of £250 to allow Galbraith to appeal.
