A WOMAN from a village near Winchester has been disqualified from the road after being caught drink driving.
Natasha Mulvey, 33, of Beech Grove, Owslebury, was stopped by officers near junction 10 of the M3 at Bar End on March 11, a court heard.
When breath-tested Mulvey blew a reading of 65 microgrammes in 100 millilitres of breath, nearly twice the legal limit of 35. She pleaded guilty.
Magistrates in Basingstoke on March 30 banned her for 20 months, although the ban will be cut by 20 weeks if she passes and approved course by May 12 2024.
She was fined £120 with £40 costs and a £48 victim surcharge. The penalties must be paid by April 27.
