Another nominee for the 2014 Darwin Awards. Louise Ditchfield, 23, called her instructor at midnight to arrange a lesson the following day “because she was bored”. Unfortunately, being a pisshead, she was drunk at the time – so drunk that when she was pulled over for swerving all over the road the next day she was still over twice the legal limit. She claimed she had last had a drink “more than 24 hours” previously. In spite of this obvious lie, she was quoted in court:
I thought the alcohol would have gone. It was a big mistake. I am sorry.
Ditchfield was also taking the lesson in red pyjamas, which says a lot about the person she is. The whole affair also raises a few questions about her instructor. I would be very worried if one of mine tried to do a lesson in their nightwear.
She was banned for 12 months.
