A drink driver has been given a driving disqualification after being stopped in Salisbury.
Charlotte Guest, 24, of Avenue Road, Gosport, was sighted by officers driving a Blue MG shortly after midnight on February 28th, earlier this year.
Her vehicle was spotted swerving across the centre line of the carriageway before striking a curb on the A36, Southampton Road in Salisbury. Officers stopped the vehicle, and a preliminary breath test showed Guest was twice over the drink-driving limit, leading to her subsequently being arrested.
Guest appeared in court yesterday (08th May) and pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of excess alcohol.
She has been banned from driving for 12 months, fined £120 and ordered to pay an extra £88 in surcharges and costs.
PC Kinsey said: “We have a zero tolerance towards drink or drug driving.
“Drink or drug driving is one of the ‘fatal 5’ offences, the leading contributors towards serious road traffic collisions alongside speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone while driving and careless driving.
“Guest’s actions were dangerous, putting not only herself but other road users in danger.
“With the help of the public, we can get more drink drivers off the road."
