A DRINK driver who was twice over the limit behind the wheel has been banned.

Paige Lynam, of Wardour Street, Atherton, was stopped in Wigan by police on July 23 where a breathalyser test found she had 70 micrograms in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35.

The 22-year-old has been disqualified from driving for 18 months ago which may be reduced by 18 weeks if she completes a course.

She has been fined for £253, ordered to pay a victim services surcharge of £30 and court costs of £85.

Lynam appeared at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates' Court last Wednesday.
