A DRINK-DRIVER from Herefordshire who was caught out behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Corsa while over the limit has been banned from driving.
Aletia Cecil entered a guilty plea to one count of driving while over the alcohol limit when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford last month.
The court heard from prosecutor Camila Toscano that the 29-year-old from Eardisley had been caught out on the A4111 in Kington after getting behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Corsa while over the drink-drive limit in October last year.

She was given a blood test and was found to have 203 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. The legal limit is 80.
Cecil was banned from driving for 16 months and fined £120, with her guilty plea taken into account by magistrates.
She was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £85 and a £48 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
