A LEARNER driver (17) caught drink driving in Buckie has been disqualified from trying to obtain a licence for a year.
The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was found to be over the limit on Sunday, July 30 when police stopped him on Buckie High Street.
A breath test recorded a reading of 39/100, exceeding the legal limit of 22/100.
Elgin Sheriff Court heard (August 24) that the teenager was also driving with no insurance and without any L plates upon his vehicle.
Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood fined the defendant £600, payable at the rate of £50 per month.
The teenager was told that he would be able to get his ban reduced from 12 to 9 months, provided he paid for and passed a drink drivers' rehabilitation course.
