Three people have been banned from the roads for drink-driving offences that took place over the Cup Match holiday.

Appearing in Magistrates’ Court this morning, Cori Broadbelt, of Southampton, pleaded guilty to driving while over the legal blood-alcohol limit in Southampton on July 30.

The court heard that Broadbelt was stopped on Horseshoe Road by police officers, who noted that he appeared to be intoxicated.

A breathalyser test at Hamilton Police Station showed that Broadbelt had 130mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood — the legal limit is 80mg.

Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo handed Broadbelt a $1,200 fine and disqualified him from driving all vehicles for 18 months.

In a separate matter, 18-year-old Megan Pearson, of Paget, admitted driving while over the legal blood-alcohol limit in Warwick on July 31.

Prosecutor Maria Sofianos said Police stopped Pearson after she overtook them and another car on her motorcycle on Harbour Road, near the junction with Keith Hall Road, and saw her swerving left to right and over the centre line.

The officers noted that Pearson appeared to be intoxicated and she was taken to Hamilton Police Station, where it was determined that she had 93mg of alcohol in 100ml of blood.

Mr Tokunbo handed Pearson a $1,200 fine and banned her from the roads for 18 months.

Also in court, 34-year-old Joemar Germo, of Pembroke, was banned from driving for a year after he admitted failing to provide a sample of breath for analysis.

Ms Sofianos said Germo was taken to Hamilton Police Station after police officers attended a road traffic collision on St John’s Road, Pembroke, on July 31, and observed that Germo appeared to be intoxicated.

When the officers had asked him if he had been drinking, Germo said, “a little bit — about three coronas”, but he failed to provide a sample of breath for analysis.

Mr Tokunbo fined him $800 and disqualified him from driving all vehicles for a year.
