Wayne Rooney apologises as he's banned from driving for two years, given 100 hours' community service and fined just 12 minutes' pay after being stopped three times over limit in party girl's Beetle


Former England captain Wayne Rooney has been banned from driving for two years and given 100 hours' community service after pleading guilty today to a drink driving charge. He was stopped by police while driving 29-year-old party girl Laura Simpson (pictured right) home from a night out in her Volkswagen Beetle in Wilmslow, Cheshire, at 2am on September 1. Rooney was stopped because Miss Simpson's car had a faulty brake light. Stockport Magistrates' Court heard Rooney's breath reading was 104mg per 100ml of blood. The legal limit is 35mg. The Everton striker was handed a 24 month driving ban and given 100 hours' community service as part of a 12-month community order. In a statement issued after the plea he apologised for his 'unforgivable lack of judgment'. He appeared in court with his wedding ring on but there was no sign of his wife Coleen (inset).
