A BEMBRIDGE teenager has been banned from the road for drink driving — seven months after acquiring her licence.
Emily Rose Williams, of Egerton Road, appeared before the Isle of Wight Magistrates' Court on Tuesday (May 25).
The 18-year-old admitted one count of drink driving, on May 8 this year.
Prosecutor, Ann Smout, told the court officers had been on duty at around 1am in the morning and driving a marked police van.
She said they had been travelling behind Williams' vehicle along Great Preston Road in Ryde.
Mrs Smout said Williams was driving faster than the speed limit permitted, and police noted a strong smell of alcohol when they pulled her over.
