Albert Aleksander Dyba, of Dovetail Court, Chesterfield, was banned from the roads for 17 months after admitting drink driving.
He’s also been fined £120, and ordered to pay costs of £85 and an £85 victim surcharge.
Southampton Magistrates Court heard on Wednesday that the 33-year-old swerved into a wall while driving on Ashley Road in New Milton shortly after 10pm on October 19, 2024.
The crash caused the wall to collapse.
When stopped by officers and breathalysed, Dyba had 70 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, leaving him twice the legal limit to drive.

Investigating the incident, PC Tom Jelly, of New Milton Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: “I am pleased to see justice served here.
“Dyba clearly felt he could drink alcohol, drive his vehicle and not face any consequences for those actions.
“This prosecution and sentencing has proven that he was wrong. The ban he has received will now give him time to consider his actions and hopefully learn from this experience, safe in the knowledge that we will bring him before the courts again if he does similar in the future.
“Drink driving is extremely dangerous and can have devastating consequences for both the offending driver and other innocent people using our roads.
“This case should serve as a stark warning and reminder to all who drink alcohol and then choose to drive.
“Alcohol can take a considerable amount of time to leave your system, so make the right decision and do not drive unless you are absolutely certain you are fit to do so.”
