His explanation is of course a nonsense. If you don't normally drink alcohol, you would know after a mouthful (let alone the 2-3 drinks required to go over the limit) if someone had slipped you a laced drink.
And he did not even try running a "special reasons" argument (see below) to avoid a ban. Obviously he did not want to put his case to the district judge, because of the risk of a judicial finding that he was lying. It's easier for him to hire a chauffeur for the next 18 months and hypocritically go on claiming his innocence.
It can be a special reason not to disqualify if the court is satisfied that the proportion of alcohol in a persons breath is attributable to the defendant unwittingly consuming alcohol or where a person has been misled as to the nature of a drink.
In such cases it will be essential to demonstrate to the court that:
1. your drink has been laced
2. you did not know it had been laced
3. if your drink had not been laced the alcohol level in your breath, blood or urine would not have been “over the limit”
If the court is satisfied of all of the above requirements, then the court may exercise its discretion not to disqualify, or may impose points in the alternative.

It was probably Dave Sullivan slipping him a shot of something tasty to get him to sign for WH in January.
Either that or there is his favourite mosque (AKA tart) in East London that attracted him to drive all the way down from Manchester...

Alcbar?
Did you mean that, or are you as prone to unintentional punning as Yaya is to unintentionally knocking back a dozen pints of bitter?

I wonder if he has ever "unintentionally" eaten a pork sausage or bacon sandwich?

Maybe it was just a long-awaited brandy-laced birthday cake? Allahu Alcbar.

Elephants often get pissed unintentionally when fruit ferments in their stomach, but I don't think having an elephant as a national symbol actually makes you into one
