AN ANDOVER man who was caught over the drink drive limit has been banned from getting behind the wheel.
Simon Dewhurst, of Tollgate Road, was stopped on Weyhill Road on April 16 while driving a white Vauxhall.
He had 119 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35.
The 44-year-old admitted to driving a motor vehicle when above the legal level of alcohol during a hearing at Basingstoke Magistrates’ Court.
Magistrates banned Dewhurst from driving for 26 months and ordered him to complete 120 hours of unpaid work.
He must also pay £40 court costs and a £95 victim surcharge.
