A Blaenplwyf man has been banned from the road for 17 months by magistrates after being found to be drink driving on a quad bike without a licence and insurance after leaving the scene of an accident.
Ellis Vaughan-Roberts, of Swn y Mor, appeared before Aberystwyth Magistrates’ Court last week.
The court heard that the 20-year-old was stopped while riding a Yahama quad bike on Maes Llanio in Blaenplwyf on 10 August this year.
Roadside and police station breath tests showed he had 66 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
