Tameside magistrates have banned Raja Manan from the road for 18 months for being almost two times over the drink drive limit.
The 40-year-old, of Westminster Avenue in Ashton, admitted the offence after being stopped on May 1 and found to have 67 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, exceeding the legal limit of 35.
He was fined £190 plus ordered to pay £85 court costs and a victim surcharge of £34.
The driving disqualification can be reduced by 18 weeks if a driving course is successfully completed.
