Danny Cipriani 'shocked to be over drink drive limit'

England rugby star Danny Cipriani was "shocked" to discover he was over the drink-drive limit, despite having had two espresso martinis and a glass of champagne less than an hour earlier, a court has heard.

The fly-half allegedly had "glazed" eyes and smelt of alcohol when he was arrested after his Mercedes collided with a taxi shortly after 5am on June 1 last year, Westminster Magistrates' Court was told.
