A Tidworth man has been banned from driving and fined hundreds of pounds after being almost three times the drink drive limit. Jason Tilling, of Normandy Road, pleaded guilty to drink driving at Salisbury Magistrate s Court on Friday 12 February. He was disqualified from driving for 36 months and fined £730. Officers said that “the result of his actions could have been far more serious” had he not been stopped at the time. At 12.45am on November 28 last year, police were concerned about the driving of a Vauxhall Insignia on Normandy Road, causing them to pull the vehicle over. The driver, Tilling, failed a roadside breathalyser and was arrested and taken to Melksham Police Station where he provided a reading nearly three times the legal limit.
