A young man from Kelsale, Suffolk, has been banned from driving for two years after pleading guilty to drink-driving. Rowan Maddocks, aged 20, of Main Road, Kelsale, was apprehended by police in Yoxford, east Suffolk, on 11 September after officers became suspicious and requested a breathalyser test. The test revealed that Maddocks was “three times over the limit,” according to a Suffolk Police spokesperson.
The breathalyser recorded a reading of 105 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath—significantly above the UK’s legal driving limit of 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres. Charged with driving a motor vehicle while above the prescribed alcohol limit, Maddocks faced a hearing at Suffolk Magistrates’ Court on Monday, where he received his two-year driving ban.
In addition to the driving ban, the court ordered Maddocks to pay a total of £831, covering fines, court costs, and a victim surcharge. This case adds to the growing list of drink-driving incidents in the Suffolk area, highlighting the continued need for awareness and enforcement to deter impaired driving.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of drink-driving, not only for those who choose to risk it but also for the safety of other road users.
