AFTER driving while over the alcohol limit for each of their held licenses, two men faced Gayndah Magistrates Court on Friday December 4.
19-year-old Jeffrey Allan Roth pleaded guilty to driving on Mount Debatable Road while over the no alcohol limit and holding a provisional license on November 13.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Ruddiman said police attention was drawn to a quad bike that was travelling with the defendant’s vehicle.
“Police were alerted when the Nissan turned its lights off just momentarily, police then intercepted the Nissan.”
Roth blew a reading of 0.022 when breath tested by police.
Solicitor Morgan Harris said the driver understands he has broken the law and must suffer the consequences.
