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.
A postcard from the Isle of Wight, whose normalcy has never been so intoxicating

Until I was nine, my familyâs annual holiday was spent somewhere different every year. Then we went to the Isle of Wight â and after that, we never went anywhere else.Â
Thereâs just something about the place. The fact you take a ferry across, perhaps, giving the feel of travelling overseas. Or the compact nature of it, the lack of motorways and vast cities. People joke that you must set your watch back 30 years on arrival, but it is the island that is laughing now, happily ensconced in Tier 1 and carrying on as close to a normal life as Iâve seen anywhere in months.
