QUOTE: PC Andy Holliday, who investigated, said: “Hreniuc has shown total disregard for the sentences imposed on him by the courts and continued to put himself and other road users in danger. “The sentence reflects the seriousness of Hreniuc’sactions.ENDS
Four month suspended sentence is pathetic!
A driver who crashed her Audi into a ditch while drunk was caught again four times over the limit just six months later.
Nicola Giles, 47, was still under investigation for suspected drink driving over an accident (sic) that saw her drive off the road when she was found slumped behind the wheel with two bottles of white wine.
Norwich Magistrates’ Court was told police had been called on May 22 to an accident involving an Audi A3 on the West Harling Road, between East Harling and Thetford.
Colette Harper, prosecuting, said Giles had been found in a confused and intoxicated state nearby and had admitted being drunk.
After she failed a roadside breath test a subsequent blood sample had recorded an alcohol level of 270mg- over three times the legal limit of 80.
Colette Harper, prosecuting, said she had been arrested again on November 11 after a concerned member of the public had called police over a woman in a Ford Fiesta parked on London Road in Wymondham.
She had been found asleep in the driving seat with the keys in the ignition with bottles of wine, said Ms Harper.
A breath test had seen her blow 147mg (sic) - more than four times over the legal limit of 35.
Giles, of Bryony Way in Attleborough, pleaded guilty to drink driving and being in charge of a motor vehicle while over the limit.
Appearing in court unrepresented, she told magistrates she was guilty but that she had nothing to add to the contents of a pre-sentence report prepared by the probation service.
Banning her from driving for a total of two years and three months, the magistrates told her: “This is a serious situation, very fortunately no-one else was injured except yourself.”
She was made subject of an 18 month community order including 15 rehabilitation days and told to pay fines and costs of £514.
