Motorists saw the van being driven on the motorway with two tyres missing and steel hubs worn away.
One of these reported the father-of-four to the police, who pulled him over at 02:00 BST on Sunday, 26 June, near Junction 46 of the M4 at Llangyfelach.He was breathalysed at the roadside and found to be almost twice the legal limit for driving.Image source,Rhys Davies, defending, said Rosser had tested positive for Covid after the trip and it had influenced his decision to drive the vehicle with two missing tyres.
The court heard the incident was a "one-off" and Rosser, who previously worked in the prison service, had no previous convictions. Mr Davies added the defendant had drunk two pints and was "genuinely unaware he was over the prescribed limit"."Due to the hour of the day, after suffering two blowouts he took the decision to drive to a place of safety.However, prosecutor Lucy Mansfield said the drink driving offence was aggravated by Rosser continuing to drive on missing tyres.
