L-plater caught three times over limit
A GOLD Coast learner driver pleaded guilty to driving while more than three times over the legal blood alcohol limit yesterday.
The Southport Magistrates Court heard a taxi driver alerted police to Adon Ramon Britten driving erratically in Southport last month.
Just after midnight on May 17 police pulled Britten over at Queen St where they discovered he was driving alone with a C class learner licence.
He was later found to have a blood alcohol reading of 0.178, more than three times the legal limit. Britten was given a $1200 fine and disqualified from driving for nine months.
