Disqualified for four years and ordered to carry out 200 hours community service
A WICK driver has become one of the first in Scotland to lose his car, after admitting his third drinks-driving offence at Wick Sheriff Court today.
William Simpson escaped prison and in addition to losing his vehicle, worth between £9000 and £10,000, was disqualified from driving for four years and ordered to carry out 200 hours community service.
