A DRINK-driver has been banned from getting behind the wheel for a year.
Glynn Evans, 48, was driving a white Volkswagen Caddy at Moorclose in Workington on September 12.
A breath test showed he had 47mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit to drive is 35mcg.
Evans, of Eskdale Crescent, Workington, pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle with alcohol level above the limit.
Magistrates sitting in Workington banned Evans from driving for 12 months, to be reduced by 12 weeks, if he completes the drink-drivers’ rehabilitation course.
The defendant was fined £120 and must pay £85 costs and a £48 victim surcharge.
