A Dover man has been banned from driving for two years following an incident last month.

Aivis Pusmucans, 33, of East Street, Dover, pleaded guilty to drink driving after he undertook a breath test in Buckland Avenue on March 1.

He was driving a Volvo V70 and when stopped gave a breath test of 97 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.

The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.

He was sentenced at Channel Magistrates’ Court, Folkestone, on April 14 and was disqualified from driving for two years and ordered to carry out 100 hours unpaid work to be carried out in the next 12 months.

His disqualification can be reduced by 182 days if he satisfactorily completes a course approved by the Secretary of State by August 12, 2015, the cost of which will not exceed £250.
