A 47-YEAR-old woman has been given a lengthy ban after admitting drink driving.
Sarah Davies was caught drink driving a Nissan Pixo on Birmingham Road, Badsey, near Evesham, on March 29 last year.

Chairman of the bench, Kevin Lloyd-Wright, told Davies she would be disqualified from driving for 14 months.
Davies was offered the opportunity to take the drink-drive awareness course which, if successfully completed, will reduce her ban by 14 weeks.
Davies was also fined £120 and ordered to pay costs of £135 and victim surcharge of £48 - a total of £303.
The case was heard at Worcester Magistrates Court on Thursday, (April 20).
