taken at the roadside, which gave a positive reading. Owen was taken to the police


station and after a toxicology report was taken, the lowest reading showed that the defendant had 63mcg of


alcohol in 100ml of his breath, exceeding prescribed limit. Defending, Diana Miller


apologised on behalf of Owen to the court and the police officers for their wasted time. Owen was said to have co-operated


fully with the officers at the time of the incident and is ‘hugely remorseful for the offence’. Stating that the defendant had two


pints of beer before driving, she said that Owen is a man that never usually drink drives. Ms Miller concluded by telling


Magistrates that she has ‘never met a man through her work who is more ashamed and aware of the dangers of drink driving as the defendant’. Explaining to Owen that they


accepted his complete remorse, Magistrates imposed a 17 month driving disqualification for the offence and endorsed his licence. In addition, Owen was ordered to


pay a fine of £320, a surcharge of £32 and prosecution costs of £85.
