A WOMAN has been banned from the roads after being caught almost three times the drink-drive limit.

Molly Pilkington, of Main Road, Moulton, was travelling along her street on March 4 when she was caught.

A subesquent breath test revealed the 27-year-old had 92 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of her breath. The legal limit is 35.

Appearing at Chester Magistrates Court on April 4, Pilkington pleaded guilty to drink-driving.

Taking her guilty plea into account, magistrates disqualifed her from driving for two years and fined her £450.

Pilkington must also pay £120 in court costs to the Crown Prosecution Service and a £180 surcharge.
