A NEW Year's Day drink-driver has lost his licence for 14 months.

Scott Gammer, 44, of St Martin's Road, Monkton, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates Court on Monday, January 25.

He admitted driving a Vauxhall Insignia car in Tenby Court, Monkton on January 1 after consuming excess alcohol.

The court was told that a breath test gave a reading of 53 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath - the legal limit being 35.

The court took Gammer's guilty plea into account and in addition to the 14-month disqualification, he was ordered to pay a total of £569 made up of a £440 fine, £44 surcharge and £85 costs.
