A WOMAN from Pinvin, near Pershore, has admitted getting behind the wheel while more than twice the drink-drive limit.

Michelle Perkins of Pendas Meadow, Pinvin, appeared at Worcester Magistrates Court where she admitted driving with 175 mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood – more than twice the legal limit – as well as driving while disqualified and without insurance on September 14.

Prosecutor Owen Beale told the court Perkins was arrested after she hit a telegraph pole and had to be cut free from her car.

He said she had told police she had one can of lager at dinner hours earlier.

The court also heard the 37-year-old had been banned from driving for three years in December for committing the same offences.

Perkins was handed two eight-week prison sentences, suspended for a year and to run consecutively to a previous three-month sentence she had been handed for a different offence in January 2015, and her driving licence was again revoked for three years from May 1.
