A HEREFORD fitness instructor has been banned from driving after being caught over the alcohol limit.
Paige Price, 25, was caught out when she crashed her Fiat 500 in Edgar Street, Hereford, on November 4.
She had drank four pints of cider before getting behind the wheel, and crashed the car into railings, suffering minor injuries from the airbags.
Police noticed that her eyes were glazed, and detected 66 microgrammes of alcohol in her breath when they breathalysed her.
She is a fitness instructor at Holmer Park, with her defence solicitor Matt Lewis providing a letter from her employer to the court, which said that the offence was out of character for the defendant.

Magistrates at Hereford Magistrates Court banned her from driving for 17 months and fined her £380 with a £152 victim surcharge and £135 in court costs.
