Driver banned

A Maidstone man has been banned for driving after admitting two offences. Alexandru Florian, of Morton Way, Maidstone, appeared at Maidstone Magistrates’ Court and pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drink and driving without insurance. The 25-year-old was found intoxicated behind the wheel in Sheals Crescent, Maidstone, in April. Magistrates banned Florian from driving for 18 months. He must also pay £715. His disqualification can be reduced if he completes a drink-drive awareness course.
