Drink driver fined and given ban

Drink driver Mark Peach has been told to pay £500.

The 34-year-old was stopped by the police as he drove a Peugeot in Grange Road, Gosport.

A roadside breathalyser test revealed he had 66 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – almost double the legal limit of 35mg. 

Peach was arrested and charged with drink-driving.  He pleaded guilty to the offence when he appeared at Fareham Magistrates’ Court.

The court fined Peach, of Brune Lane, Lee-on-the-Solent £400 and told him to pay £100 in costs.   He was disqualified from getting behind the wheel for 18 months.
