A CARDIGAN motorist has lost his licence for 18 months after admitting drink-driving.

Richard Lee, of Llwyn Grawys, Llangoedmor, pleaded guilty to drink-driving when he appeared at Aberystwyth Justice Centre.

The 55-year-old was stopped while driving an Audi A3 on an unclassified road between Penparc and Llangoedmor on May 14. He had 66 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.

As well as a driving ban, magistrates fined Lee £230, along with £85 costs and a £30 victim surcharge.
