She has been banned from the road for 12 months
A DUNS woman who admitted driving while more than double the legal alcohol limit has been banned from the road for 12 months at Jedburgh Sheriff Court.
Fifty-five-year-old Janice Robertson pleaded guilty to driving with a breath/alcohol count of 49 microgrammes – the legal limit being 22 – on the A6015 Chirnside to Duns road on August 1.
Defence lawyer Ross Dow said his client had said she was “mortified” about what she had done.
She was also fined £300 with a £20 victim surcharge.
