Hide AdHayes, of Salcombe Drive, Redhill, Nottingham, was stopped by police on the Junction 33 slip road and breath-tested, according to Mr Duffy, after he smelled of alcohol and was unsteady on his feet.
He pleaded guilty to exceeding the alcohol drink-drive limit.
David Gittins, defending, said Hayes is a self-employed office-fitter whose business may be at risk with a drink-drive ban.
Magistrates fined Hayes £600 and ordered him to pay £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.
He was banned from driving for 12 months.
