She was disqualified from driving for 18 months, fined £150 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
She spent time in police cells.
She has been in the dock in a criminal court.
She has been splashed all over the tabloids.
She is being subjected to borderline harsh language and a good dose of bitchin' and hatin' from randomers on an internet forum.
Oh the humanity.
but it doesn't make what she did ok now, and it does not account for the fact that 'normal' people who have done the equivalent have had a far harsher penalty than she has.
And none of the above makes up for the fact that she was endangering peoples lives when she is an intelligent person who does know better. The thing is that if she had hurt another human being the penalty and repurcussions for her would have been far worse. If your loved one was hurt, do you think that the above would be just payment for even just risking a life.
(I may add, that I have never been in the situation where I have lost someone to drink driving, but I really can Imagine it, my father is an alcoholic and has driven while drunk, I am thoroughly ashamed of him, he has had the book thrown at him twice, I wish they would ban him completely, I would rather that than he risk a life)
