Fined for drunken driving

BERLIN: A German gardener has been fined and stripped of his licence for driving his lawnmower while drunk. The court on Tuesday fined the 45-year-old man 400 euros ($460) and banned him from driving all vehicles, including his mower, for three months after police did a check on him as he was parking the vehicle, which has a maximum speed of 6 km/h. Defence lawyer Stefan Deppe said his client would appeal. Police breath-tested the gardener after detecting the smell of alcohol as he finished mowing a lawn for a client. — Reuters
