Three-year driving ban for Ramsey woman

A Ramsey woman has been banned from the roads for three years after admitting drink- driving.

Vicky Gaines of Auldyn Meadow Drive appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

The 36 year old admitted drink driving on Lezayre Road in her VW Golf at around 3pm on July 1.
 
The court heard witnesses alerted police after spotting her car weaving from side to side and mounting a kerb – when officers arrived at her home she failed a roadside breath test.

A urine sample later showed she was more than two and a half times the legal limit.

Magistrates fined her £1,700 and imposed a three-year driving ban, also ordering her to  pay £125 in costs.
