Stephen Baxter, aged 59, was driving a Renault Kangoo in Heol Vastre in Newtown on November 22 last year. A breath test found he had 94 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mcg.
Baxter, of Winlln, Aberangell, Gwynedd, pleaded guilty at Welshpool Magistrates Court to driving a motor vehicle when above the alcohol limit.
Magistrates banned him from the road for 23 months and ordered him to carry out 80 hours of unpaid work. Baxter was also ordered to do 20 rehabilitation activity days and pay £199 in court costs.
