A 20-YEAR-OLD has pleaded guilty to being over the drink drive limit.
Savanna Blake, of Hill Crescent, Brigham, near Cockermouth, admitted the charge in a hearing at North and West Cumbria magistrates court, in Workington.
Magistrates were told that she had 83 mcgs of alcohol in 100 mls of breath - the legal limit is 35 - when tested at the Fitz roundabout on the A66 near Cockermouth, on November 22.
She was banned from driving for 21 months, which will be reduced by 21 weeks if she completes a course.
And she was also ordered to carry out 60 hours of unpaid work, pay an £85 surcharge to fund victim services and £85 costs.
