Billy Weir Sommerville Busted for Drinking and Driving
Folkestone Man Over the Limit in Hythe
Billy Weir Sommerville, 31, from Enbrook Valley, Folkestone, was caught red-handed behind the wheel after knocking back too many drinks. The offence happened on 8 January 2022 in Hythe, but his sentencing came later, on 10 February 2022 at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court.
Breath Test Reveals Shocking Overdose
When stopped by police, Sommerville’s breathalyser reading was 92 microgrammes of alcohol per 100ml of breath—well over the UK legal limit of 35 microgrammes.
Harsh Penalties Hit the Drink Driver
- Driving disqualification for 24 months
- £600 fine slapped on
- £60 victim surcharge
- £85 court costs
Sommerville pleaded guilty to the offence, sealing his fate with a 2-year ban from the roads and a hefty financial penalty. Drink driving laws crack down hard to keep UK roads safe.
