Woman charged with driving car 'grossly below the speed limit'
A 56-year-old woman has been charged with driving dangerously, and at almost three times the legal alcohol limit, on the A68 north of Jedburgh.
It's alleged Kay Glover drove a vehicle with its airbags deployed and damage to its front end, at a speed "grossly below the speed limit" last month - all while intoxicated.
She is also accused of providing a breath test which recorded a reading of 60 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 ml of breath on the same date - May 27th, 2023 - when the limit is 22mg.
Glover, of Huntlyburn Terrace, Melrose, denied both charges at Jedburgh Sheriff Court today (Monday), and the case was continued to trial in August.
