A DRINK driver who was seen swerving across the centre line of a carriageway in Salisbury has been banned from driving for a year.

24-year-old Charlotte Guest of Avenue Road, Gosport, was stopped by officers shortly after midnight on February 28 after she hit a curb on the A36 Southampton Road with her Blue MG.

A preliminary breath test showed Guest was twice over the drink driving limit, leading to her arrest.

She appeared in court today (May 8) and pleaded guilty to driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of excess alcohol.

She has been banned from driving for 12 months, fined £120 and ordered to pay an extra £88 in surcharges and costs.

PC Kinsey said: “We have a zero tolerance towards drink or drug driving.

“Drink or drug driving is one of the ‘fatal 5’ offences, the leading contributors towards serious road traffic collisions alongside speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone while driving and careless driving.

“Guest’s actions were dangerous, putting not only herself but other road users in danger.

“With the help of the public, we can get more drink drivers off the road.”
