Hide AdJewkes, 32, of Top Sandy Lane, Warsop, said he would lose his job as a farm worker because of the inevitable ban, when he admitted the offence at Mansfield Magistrates Court, on Monday.
He told magistrates: “I am sorry for wasting your time. It was a stupid thing. All I did was walk my dog. I shouldn’t have done it. I didn’t feel drunk.”
He was banned from driving for three years, but was offered a drink drive rehabilitation course which will reduce the length of the disqualification by 274 days, if completed by November 2019.
He was fined £400, and must pay £85 costs and a £40 government tax.
