A Kilgetty motorist has been banned from getting behind the wheel of a vehicle for 18 months after admitting a drink-drive charge in court.

Twenty-eight-year-old Kaya Ramsay, of Park Avenue, admitted driving her Volkswagen Polo on a road between Amroth and Summerhill, with 67 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath, exceeding the prescribed limit.

Prosecutor Vaughan Pritchard-Jones told the court that police were called to an collision on September 18, of last year, where the defendant was identified as the driver of the vehicle involved by her boyfriend.

“The defendant’s boyfriend alleged that she had run him over and broken his foot. It was a member of the public who saw the incident who called the police,” he said.

Defence solicitor Mike Kelleher told magistrates that the police report didn’t make it clear what actually happened.

“There was an incident on that road, where a male kicked the front of my client’s vehicle. Miss Ramsay left the scene in her vehicle, even though she had been drinking, as people in an emergency can drive a vehicle away, but because she drove back and was now no longer classed as part of the emergency, she was charged and accepts that she had been drink-driving,” he explained.

Magistrates disqualified Miss Ramsay from driving for 18 months and fined her £120 for the offence.

She was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £85 and a £30 victim surcharge.
