Hide AdPolice located him in West Street. He failed to complete a preliminary test and didn’t co-operate for an evidential test in the custody suite.
Mr John McAtamney, representing the defendant, said he had a previous relevant conviction in 2015. He added that Parr had only passed his test again three months ago and a new licence had never been issued.
For driving while unfit he was fined £350 and disqualified from driving for four years while a £350 fine and a concurrent four year ban was imposed for not taking the evidential test.
Parr was also fined £100 and ordered to pay a £15 offender’s levy for failing to provide a preliminary sample.
