Christina Dillion was nearly four times over the drink drive limit when she flipped her car

Christina Dillon, 46, had smashed into four parked vehicles before flipping her own car on to its roof.

Police who took a sample of her blood found she had 319 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood. In England, the limit is 80.

Dillon, of Croydon, south London, admitted driving without due care and attention and with excess alcohol.

She was handed a suspended 16-week jail term as well as being banned from the road for 34 months.

Police were called to a residential street in Croydon at 6.20pm on May 9 after reports of an overturned car. It later emerged that Dillon had been driving the wrong way down a one way street.

She was taken to hospital as a precaution before officers took their sample for analysis.

PC Andy Dobbs, from the Met’s Road and Transport Policing Command, said: “When tested the level of alcohol found in Dillon’s blood was the highest that I have known, nearly four times the legal limit.

This case highlights the dangers of driving whilst under the influence of alcohol

PC Andy Dobbs

“I am thankful that no one else was involved. This case highlights the dangers of driving whilst under the influence of alcohol.

As well as the suspended sentence and driving ban, she has been ordered to complete a rehabilitation and alcohol treatment course.

She was also pay £150 court charges, a £60 victim surcharge and £85 costs when she appeared before Croydon magistrates.

“These people that are being isolated at present, all the wisdom and all the wit and all the culture that they had, the music and the singing, that’s all being lost to the younger generation”

Councillor Danny Healy-Rae on why Kerry County Council voted in favour of allowing gardaí to issue ‘indemnity passes’ so older people can drink-drive on minor roads and at speeds under 30 mph.

But don’t the drink-drivers who’ve not been caught do that anyway?

And if you want to support local music and venues and old drunks sharing their wit and wisom with young people, why not join me when I cycle home...
