Three-year ban for driving at more than four times drink limit

DRIVING while more than four times the drink limit landed a motorist with a three-year ban from the roads.

Rebecca Patience (44), of Testwood Crescent, Totton, admitted getting behind the wheel of a Renault Master van with 150 micrograms of alcohol in her breath – the legal limit is 35.

Southampton magistrates also ordered her to do 150 hours of unpaid work, have six months of alcohol dependency treatment and pay £170 court costs.
