Drink-driver banned after crashing car into north Shropshire roundabout
He won’t be allowed back on the road until 2028
A Worcestershire man has been banned from driving for 20 months after crashing into a north Shropshire roundabout while over the drink-drive limit.
Carl Gandy, 40 and of Charlotte Bronte Drive in Droitwich, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol when he appeared before Telford Magistrates Court on Thursday (November 12).
The court heard that police had attended Tern Hill Road in Market Drayton at around 12.30am on October 24 after a car had collided with a roundabout.
Prosecutor Mr Iqbal said that police had noticed Gandy - who had identified himself as the driver - displaying signs of alcohol consumption.
A breath test showed 64 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, exceeding the legal limit of 35.
Gandy, who had two similar convictions dating back more than 10 years, was banned from driving for 20 months.
He was also ordered to pay a fine of £275, along with a £110 victim surcharge and £85 in prosecution costs.
