Four drunk drivers caught over a three-week period of July were banned from the road for a year and fined $1,000 in Magistrate's Court.

Stevan Bremar, Charles Doyle, Troy Laws and Vincent Lightbourne all pleaded guilty last week in Magistrate's Court to driving while drunk.

The court heard that Bremar, 56, was driving along Southside Road, St. George's, at 10.45 p.m. on July 6 when he tried to go around the roundabout to turn onto Wescott Lane.

He lost control of his black motorcycle, hitting a shoulder of the roundabout and crashing, causing minor injuries to his left shoulder.

The Police were called to the scene and noticed that the area was clear, dry and there were no other vehicles present.

Bremar was then arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.

Two days later, at 2.40 a.m. on July 8, Doyle was found drunk driving along Harbour Road.

Police who were on mobile patrol on Court Street were called with information about a motorcyclist who was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving at the junction of Harbour Road and Pomander Gate.

When they arrived, they spoke with Doyle who said he had only had two drinks. The Police, however, noticed he was slurring his words and arrested him.

Later that same morning at 3.30 a.m., Laws was arrested for drunk driving after officers noticed the 33-year-old swerving along Ord. Road and driving through the junction with Southcote Road in Paget, without stopping. Laws told Police he had only had two drinks.

Finally on July 21, Lightbourne, of Scaur Lane, Sandys, was arrested at 3.35 a.m. after Police watched him swerving and speeding in his car along Somerset Road.

The assistant manager of a construction site and father-of-two, told Police he had only had three drinks, however, officers smelled the alcohol on his breath. Police cautioned the Sandys man and arrested him.

Acting Magistrate Tyrone Chin suspended all four men from driving all vehicles for a year and gave them $1,000 fines each.
