A WOMAN caught behind the wheel while nearly three times the drink-drive limit has been banned from the roads for two years.
Sarah Clark entered a guilty plea to one count of drink-driving when she appeared before magistrates in Hereford in March.
The court heard from prosecutor Eleanor Peart that the 58-year-old had been caught out after getting behind the wheel of a Vauxhall Corsa while over the limit on the B4362 in Orleton, Herefordshire, on February 14.

An evidential breath test revealed that she had 102 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, almost three times the legal limit of 35 microgrammes.
Clark, of Mortimer Drive, Orleton, was handed a 12-month community order and fined £150 for the offence.
She was also disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for 24 months and ordered to pay prosecution costs of £135 and a £114 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
