A WOMAN who drove through the capital whilst twice over the alcohol limit has had her driving licence revoked with immediate effect.

Lila Taylor was driving a Volkswagen in Victoria Road, Westminster, in March when she was stopped by the police.

Officers asked her to carry out a Breathalyzer test which showed she had 85mcg in 100 millilitres of breath.

The legal limit is 35mcg.

At Westminster Magistrates’ Court last Tuesday, Taylor, 26, admitted one charge of driving a vehicle when above the alcohol limit.

Taylor, of Kelvedon Road in Tiptree, was fined £368 and banned from driving for 20 months.
