The first thing I thought when I heard this was, atleast she is taking them to school.

The things some children have to go through due to parents is disgusting. CYFS drop families all the time, with no reason at all, and no explanation to the family. So teachers and RTLB's have to go through the process of reapplying all over again.

I hope this woman stops what she is doing, or maybe someone at the school realises it is her and takes the children to school for her.

Got a drunk driver who crashed, had passed other drivers in dangeous spots before hand.

Got convicted of dangerous driving and EBA. (No previous)

But the judge really ripped into him, said the driving was some of the worst he had heard of.

Got a total of 200hrs community service and 2yrs disqually, fairly soft penalty I thought..

The tosser appealed, got a lawyer to act on his behalf.
Ended up on appeal with 120 hours c.s and 10 months disqually.

I wonder why I even bother.......

In the UK recently a woman was charged over £700 in fines for putting her rubbish out on the wrong day (she moved it so her child could play safely in the garden- most peeps only get one collection per week!!!!) Yet some lovely person who killed someone whilst dangerously driving got fined £58. Go figure. Rubbish has a higher price than a human life!!!!

Surely an opposition MP (in the UK) would be making a huge noise about this.

Obviously not all the facts of the case are laid out in the article and maybe there are some mitigating factors here but it sounds absurd.

Well spotted...!!!

Blowing over 650 gets you a 28 day immediate licence suspension.

Getting pinged again pissed a second time would mean she was driving while suspended, so she would have had her car taken off her, as well as being charged with the second EBA and driving while suspended....

Yet another nice story from the media.... Good on ya Harold...!!!

We ARE dealing with the media here, not too well known for facts and the whole story a lot of the time.

Treat the media like they are Enid Blyton and you won't go wrong..
