Subscriber only A 63-year-old Tin Can Bay man admitted to being guilty and stupid for driving after consuming enough alcohol to put him more than three times over the limit. Police stopped Stephen Mark Tracey due to his manner of driving and breathalysed him on December 8 on Bayside Rd, Tin Can Bay. The test returned a reading of .157, three times the legal limit. Tracey pleaded guilty to the offence in Gympie Magistrates Court on Thursday. Solicitor Chris Anderson told Gympie Magistrate Court Tracey consumed 6-8 beers over a period of 1.5 hours before he made the decision to drive home.
