A woman from Richmond was banned for driving for a year and fined more than £300 after admitting drink driving.

Nicolle West, 24, of Jones Walk, was almost twice the legal limit when caught driving her BMW in Greville Road, Twickenham, on February 8.

She pleaded guilty to consuming 64mg of alcohol in 100ml of breath at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, February 25.

The legal limit is 35mg per 100ml.

West was disqualified from driving for 12 months, reduced by three months if she successfully completes a drink-driving course.

She must also pay costs of £305, including a £200 fine.
