A HEREFORDSHIRE driver has been banned from the roads for five years after she was caught behind the wheel while four times the drink-drive limit.

Elizabeth Anne Robinson entered a guilty plea to magistrates in Hereford.

The court heard the 49-year-old had been caught driving a red Mitsubishi ASX in Ledbury's Tesco supermarket car park while over the drink-drive limit on November 22.

An evidential breath test revealed she had 147 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, four times the legal limit of 35.

Robinson, of Tarrington, Herefordshire, was handed a 12-month community order and must undergo a six month alcohol dependency treatment programme and was disqualified from driving for 60 months.

She was also fined £80 and must pay costs of £135 and a £95 victim surcharge.
