AN ACCUSED man has denied drink-driving and driving without insurance in Herefordshire,

James Clark appeared before magistrates in Hereford in December accused of one count of driving a motor vehicle while over the alcohol limit.

The court heard from Crown Prosecution Service prosecutor Mark Hambling that the 21-year-old is accused of driving a silver Vauxhall Astra on Leadon Way in Ledbury after consuming so much alcohol that he was over the drink-driving limit, with 64 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, on November 13. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes in 100 millilitres of breath.
