Jose Manuel Figueira, of Latham Crescent, Tarleton, near Preston, had denied a charge of drink driving.
But he was convicted of the offence after a trial before Preston Magistrates’ Copurt.
During the case the bench heard his Vauxhall Tigra had collided with a Nissa Qashqai on Church Road in Tarleton on March 22, but he drove away from the scene.
The 46-year-old also pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to stop after an accident.
