A DRUNK driver caught behind the wheel at nearly five times the legal limit said he drove to avoid a mozzie attack.

Stephen James Diggs, 30, made the "stupid decision" to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.236 per cent because "sand flies and mosquitoes" where he was fishing with a mate were "absolutely horrific", a Darwin court was told. Because "they'd run out of Aerogard" and had drunk many beers, which "didn't even help", he "took the risk" and drove home with his dogs and gear, only to be caught by police.

Diggs pleaded guilty to drink-driving in the Darwin Magistrates Court yesterday and driving without a licence. Click here to read the full Northern Territory News story
