Deborah Hunt, 43, was 2½ times over the drink drive limit when she got on to the M5 motorway and drove for 23 miles on the opposite carriageway. She almost collided with a police car at one point.
She was only arrested when she ran out of fuel.
The usual type of sob story – she’d “been drinking to drown her sorrows over her impending divorce.”
The only bad thing is that it is being dealt with by magistrates. According to the story, she’s “[facing] jail”.
Update: The story was covered in today’s Sun. It turns out this woman simply oozes class. She was also driving whilst uninsured – blame that one on the divorce, too, eh?
The Sun article also has a photo of her showing two fingers to the photographer outside the court.
Tonight, at about 5.15pm, this Royal Mail idiot pulled out in front of me on the Nottingham Knight roundabout. I had to brake hard to avoid him – particularly as he was trying to avoid the van in front who he was tailgating.
Any employers out there checking up on their staff should be aware that the driver of a black VW (Passat or Bora, think) – registration number NJ09 YYL – likes to break speed limits and cut people up dangerously at traffic lights (just after 4pm today, Radcliffe Road, Nottingham).
