He was found to have 99 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.
Stephen Walker, for Nolan, said he was a very "hard-working" man.
The court heard how he had to give up his job as a self-employed roofer because he was disqualified from driving after his trial. But he has since been working as an electrician's mate.
He added: "He accepts the verdict of the court and he wants to put it all behind him."
Magistrates banned him from driving for two years, fined him £875, ordered him to pay £600 in costs and a victim surcharge of £15.
