A Ramelton man who was driving in the dark in an erratic manner has been banned from driving for three years.

Kyle Black appeared at Letterkenny District Court after Gardai caught him driving with no lights at Tank Road, Ramelton on August 14, 2022.

Gardai followed Black and witnessed him driving in an erratic manner before stopping him at St Mary's Terrace at 2.44am.

Black was taken to Milford garda Station where he later failed an alcohol breath test.

The court was told that the 28-year-old from Croughan, Ramelton, had no previous convictions.

Mr Frank Dorrian, solicitor for Black, said his client works in a cafe and also pays rent.

Mr Dorrian told the court that a disqualification from driving will have a serious affect on his client's ability to earn a wage.

Judge Eiteain Cunningham fined Black €250 and also disqualified him from driving for three years.
