Two motorists have lost their driving privileges after testing more than twice the legal alcohol threshold.

Anthony Baker, residing at The Chestnuts in Charlton, was intercepted on Wallingford Street in Wantage on August 22 of the previous year, according to proceedings at Oxford Magistrates’ Court.

The 63-year-old admitted to driving under the influence during his recent court appearance.

A breath test revealed 86 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath while operating a Citroen Picasso. This figure exceeds the legal limit of 35 microgrammes per 100 millilitres by a significant margin.

The court imposed financial penalties including £85 in costs, a £48 victim surcharge, and a £120 fine.

His driving disqualification spans 20 months, though completion of an approved program by April 7 of the following year would shorten this period by 20 weeks.

Rory Sharratt, living at New Barn Avenue in Cheltenham, was found in a vehicle on Eynsham Road in Cassington on January 23 of this year.

Court documentation did not identify the specific vehicle he was operating. He also entered a guilty plea to drink driving.

His breath analysis showed 78 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, placing him also above twice the legal limit.

He was required to pay £85 in costs, a £369 victim surcharge, and a £923 fine.

He received an 18-month driving ban, reducible by 18 weeks if a course is finished by February 21 next year.
