Long ban for young drink-driver

Ryan Whittle, of Henry Street, Tyldesley, was tested by police who stopped his Audi TT on Atherton Road, Hindley, on August the 10 and he gave a reading of 75 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath (the limit is 35). There is also £620 to pay in court costs, a victim services surcharge and fine. He can reduce his ban to 40 weeks if he takes a government-sanctioned course for drink-drivers.
