A MOTORIST who failed to provide a breath specimen to police has been given a £734 bill and a three-year driving ban.
Shaun Durbridge, of Wingfield Road, Athersley South, pleaded not guilty to the offence - which occurred in June last year - but was found guilty at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court.
The 32-year-old was told to pay court costs of £620 and a £114 victim surcharge.
