Driving while under the influence has cost a young man his licence and has lightened his wallet.

The driver was issued an Immediate Roadside Driving Prohibition. He has lost his licence for 90 days, the vehicle he was driving was towed and impounded for a minimum of 30 days and he will need to pay an Administration Penalty of $700.00.
