Brighton and Hove drink drivers banned

Two drink drivers from Brighton and Hove have been banned from the road by Brighton magistrates.

Daniel Peers, 42, was driving on the wrong side of the road and weaving across Lewes Road in Brighton when he was stopped by Sussex Police officers on Saturday 28 December.

Peers already had three previous convictions for drink driving and refused to provide a sample to be tested when he was arrested.

Peers, of The Brow, Woodingdean, admitted failing to provide a specimen and was banned from driving for three years.

He was also made the subject of a year-long community order and was ordered to pay £300 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.

Samuel Pescod, 19, was arrested shortly before 4am on New Year’s Day after his car was stopped in Greenways Crescent, Shoreham, because it had no lights on in the dark.

Pescod, of Old Shoreham Road, Portslade, admitted that he had been drink driving on Wednesday 1 January.

He was banned from driving for 18 months, fined £350 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £35 victim surcharge.
