Drink Driver Banned From The Roads

A local man who was caught drink driving in the early hours of Good Friday has been disqualified from driving by the Magistrates’ Court.

A statement from the RGP follows below: 

Kaydan Peacock, 24, of the Moorish Castle Estate, was fined £500 and banned from driving for 18 months during a special sitting at court today. 

The court heard that just after 03:30 yesterday, Armed Response Officers were  patrolling Queensway when they spotted Peacock driving a Volkswagen Scirocco at  a slow speed and straddling both lanes. 

Officers stopped the vehicle outside Midtown and noticed that Peacock smelt of  alcoholic drink and was speaking incoherently. 

He then blew 77ug on the road side breath test – the legal limit is 35ug – meaning he  was over twice the legal drink drive limit. 

He was arrested on suspicion of Driving a Motor Vehicle Whilst over the Prescribed  Limit of Alcohol. He then blew 79ug at New Mole House on the Evidential Breath  Test Machine.
