A drink driver who was caught over the limit on the motorway has been banned from leaving his house at night for a year.
Robert Sobieraj, 45, of Carrington Road in High Wycombe, was caught drink driving in a Honda on the M4 motorway in Slough on November 23, 2021.
After he pleaded guilty to drink driving, he was banned from driving for 23 months and also given a year-long curfew preventing him from leaving his home between the hours of 5pm and 12am.
The curfew will be monitored with an electronic ankle tag.

On November 23, 2021, Sobieraj had been driving on the M4 motorway when he gave a breath test reading of 93 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
The legal limit is 35 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, meaning he was nearly three times over the limit.
At a hearing at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on February 23, Sobieraj pleaded guilty to one count of drink driving.
The magistrates opted not to fine him, giving him an electronically monitored curfew and banning him from driving instead.
Sobieraj must also carry out 60 hours of unpaid work within the next year and has been ordered to undertake an alcohol abstinence programme.
The court also ordered that he pay £54 in costs.
