Newbury driver Mark Taylor drank almost FOUR times legal limit

A MOTORIST was caught behind the wheel after drinking almost four times the legal limit.

Mark Taylor appeared in the dock at Reading Magistrates’ Court last December 24.

The 54-year-old, of Walton Way, Newbury, admitted driving a SsangYong Tivoli on Walton Way last December 8 after drinking more than the legal limit.

Tests showed 135mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath in his system.

The legal limit is 35mcg.

Magistrates adjourned the case for pre-sentence reports.

They stipulated these should be prepared on an ‘all options’ basis, including custody.

Taylor was meanwhile released on unconditional bail.

He was also made subject to an interim driving ban.
