Five-year driving ban for Andreas woman

An Andreas woman who couldn't give a breath test has been fined and banned from driving.

Jacquelyn Price of Ballaradcliffe appeared at Douglas Courthouse for sentencing after previously admitting the offence, said to have been committed on October 31.

Her advocate told the court she'd made a real effort to blow into the breathalyser at Douglas police station but couldn't manage the test.

Price was fined £1,200, ordered to pay £125 costs and banned from the roads for five years - after which she'll have to pass an extended driving test.
