A MAN has been banned from driving for one year after refusing to give a sample of breath.
Lazar Caldaras, 31, c/o The Regent Hotel, Corran Esplanade, Oban, admitted driving a van without insurance on the A85 at Taynuilt on August 27, and failing to provide two specimens of breath without reasonable excuse.
Oban Sheriff Court heard the van was spotted braking randomly, veering across the carriageway, and, when stopped, police detected a strong smell of alcohol.
