Banff woman admits driving car while nearly five times over the alcohol limit

A woman has admitted driving a car while nearly five times over the alcohol limit.

Sarah MacGregor (35) admitted the charge when she appeared at Banff Sheriff Court.

MacGregor, of Ardanes Brae, Banff, pleaded guilty to driving a car after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in her breath was 104 microgrammes in 100 millilitres exceeding the limit of 22mcg in 100ml, at the town’s St Catherine Street on August 26 this year.

Sheriff Robert McDonald deferred sentence on the case so the court could obtain background reports.

MacGregor was disqualified from driving in the interim period.

She will return to the court next month for sentencing.
