A former judge caught on the motorway nearly three times the drink-drive limit has been banned from driving for two years.

Bruce Macmillan, at the time a circuit judge sitting at Liverpool Crown Court, was also arrested by police three weeks later, while on bail for the first offence, drunk in charge of his car with a half-empty bottle of gin on the passenger seat, Chorley Magistrates' Court in Lancashire, was told.

The 63-year-old, who has now lost his distinguished legal career, admitted one count of driving with excess alcohol on the M6 near Chorley, on August 27 and one count of being drunk in charge in Toxteth, Liverpool, on September 17.
