MORE of the drivers who risk lives on Dorset's roads have come before magistrates in Poole.
On Tuesday, Toby Farrow, of York Road in Broadstone, was disqualified from driving for 26 months after admitting driving an Audi A7 on Gravel Hill, Poole with 106 micrograms of alcohol in his breath.
The limit is 35mg, meaning Farrow, 27, was three times the limit.

John Wingfield, 26, was also arrested on November 11. The defendant, who lives in Avenel Way, Poole, was caught behind the wheel of a Ford Fiesta in Ringwood Road with 80mg of alcohol in breath.
He was fined £418 and disqualified from driving for 20 months after admitting the charge.
