Driving while over the legal limit for alcohol and/or drugs is one of the police s so-called fatal four causes of deaths and serious injury on our roads along with not wearing a seat belt, using a mobile phone and speeding.
The following motorists have recently been convicted in our courts of committing such offences:
Stephanie Cope, 44, of Hoargate Lane, Hollington, Ashbourne, was fined £120 and was ordered to pay £85 costs, a £34 victim surcharge and was disqualified from driving for 21 months for drink-driving in Carnation Way, Ashbourne, on July 27. A test saw her blow a reading of 87 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath when the legal limit is 35.
