A ROSYTH woman was more than double the drink-drive limit when stopped by police.
Susan Anderson, 47, of Newton Crescent, appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court.
She admitted that on November 14, at Queensferry Road, Rosyth, she drove having consumed excess alcohol.
Her reading was 45 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, the limit being 22 microgrammes.
Depute fiscal Alastair McDermid said Anderson was stopped by police at 9.45am. The officers could smell alcohol from her breath.
Defence solicitor James Moncrieff said his client had been drinking the night before, consuming two bottles of Prosecco. “It was an error of judgement to drive,” he added.
Sheriff Alastair Brown said: “She must have had a considerable amount of alcohol if this was her reading the next day.”
The sheriff fined Anderson £350 and banned her from driving for 16 months.
