Robert James Rowell, 23, of Rew Close, appeared before the Isle of Wight Magistrates Court last Tuesday. He admitted drink driving, taking a motor vehicle without the owner s consent, and using a motor vehicle without insurance. Ann Smout, prosecuting, said on November 7, 2020, Rowell was driving while over the prescribed alcohol limit. He registered 86 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath when the legal limit is 35. Mrs Smout said a couple had been asleep in their Ventnor home, near the junction of Trinity Road and Madeira Road, when they heard an almighty bang outside. When they looked out of the window, they saw a VW Touran had crashed into their house, and saw a young man Rowell walking away.
