A 39-year-old woman has admitted failing to provide a sample of breath when required.

Rachele Anette Quayle also pleaded guilty to having no driving licence and will be sentenced on September 30 after a probation report has been completed.

Prosecuting advocate Barry Swain told the court that, on July 16 at 10.40pm, police received a report of a Ford Focus ’swerving all over the road’ on Douglas promenade.

They found the car at the Sea Terminal and Quayle, who lives at Edmund Chadwick Grove, Douglas, got out.

After failing a roadside breathalyser test she was arrested and taken to police headquarters.

Once there, she attempted to blow a number of times but was only able to provide one of the two samples required.

Her driving licence was also found to have expired.

Defence advocate Jim Travers asked for a probation report to be prepared before sentencing.

Mr Travers said: ’There was one complete sample provided, however a second was not, despite several attempts.’

Of the licence offence the advocate said that Quayle had moved address and she believed that reminders went to her old address.

Bail was granted in the sum of £500 with conditions to live at her home address and contact probation.
