A 32-year-old man was banned from the roads for a year after he refused to take a breath test.

Magistrates' Court heard officers saw Malcolm Johnston driving his car with no headlights on Front Street.

Police said they smelled alcohol but Johnston refused to provide police with a sample of breath for an alcohol test.

Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo also fined Johnston $800.
