Driver was four times limit

A WOMAN has been disqualified from driving after crashing her car while four times over the legal limit.

Lesley Kelsey, of Whitburn, West Lothian, pleaded guilty to driving with a count of 129 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.

She was fined 265 and disqualified from driving for 16 months.

Livingston Sheriff Court was yesterday told the 44-year-old was furious when her partner demanded she hand back the car he had given her.

She jumped into the driving seat at 2.40am to drive the 500 yards to his home further up the cul de sac in which she and her partner live, the court was told.

She had been drinking vodka and Irn-Bru all evening and crashed into a parked car.

Julia McLaren, prosecuting, said a local resident heard a loud bang and looked out to see that Kelsey's car had collided with a neighbour's.

Both cars suffered frontal damage and the accused's had a burst tyre.
