“You shouldn't have been driving. You shouldn't have been on the road. You shouldn't have been drinking,” Magistrate Brian Van Zuylen told a Kambah man facing court on Monday.

Nathan Scott, 24, pleaded guilty to driving while suspended and low-range drink driving after being caught by police in Barracks Flat Drive and produced a blood alcohol reading of .065 on January 30.

The court was told that Scott was a young man with an enviable driving history and was facing a low reading for the drink-driving charge.

However, it was acknowledged that Scott's manner of driving caught the attention of police and he had a passenger in the car at the time.

The court was told that Scott would not make the same mistake again and understood that he faced the loss of his licence and the impact it would have on his family.

Being caught was a "wake up call" for the man who was said to have seen the error of his ways and would enrol in the sober driver program.

Magistrate Brian Van Zuylen said Scott had consumed seven beers, the last of which had been at 12.25am on the day of the offence. He added that his "enviable" driving history was incorrect.

Scott's driving record was described as "poor" by the magistrate, who noted high-speed driving offences.

"You have got to learn to obey the rules," Magistrate Van Zuylen said.

Magistrate Van Zuylen considered what the court was told and said there could be an automatic accumulated disqualification from driving for 12 months.

Scott was fined $700 and disqualified from driving for 12 months from March 1.

He received a concurrent six month disqualification for drink driving and fined $700.

Scott was also ordered to $152 in court costs.

Refused to leave

A Binalong man's resistance of directions for him to leave an establishment led him to Queanbeyan Local Court on Monday.

William Bourke, 40, decided to change his plea from not guilty to guilty of failing to leave an establishment when required and resisting a police officer on December 5.
