Limit: The defendant failed a roadside breath test
MAGISTRATES have imposed a 20 month ban on a Carlisle motorist who was caught drink driving.
The city's Rickergate Magistrates' Court heard that Peter Anthony William Tuck, 50, of Oaklands Drive, Carlisle, had just over twice the legal limit for alcohol in his system while driving his Nissan in Lamb Street, on November 25 last year.
He pleaded guilty to the offence.
As well as being banned, he was also fined £350 and told to pay £85 costs and a £40 victim surcharge. Magistrates also fined him £50 for his being in breach of a suspended sentence imposed for breaching an interim stalking order.
