A MAN has been banned from driving for nearly two years after he was caught more than twice the drink drive limit on the motorway.
Kevin Mark Sainsbury, 50, of Elfed Avenue, Penarth, was disqualified from driving for 23 months and sentenced to a 12-month community order.
He admitted the offence whilst driving in a Ford Focus on the M4 between Junctions 35 Pencoed and 34 Miskin eastbound on April 23.
