Woman Motorist Banned For Second Drink-Drive Offence


A two-time drink-driver, who was reported to the police for after bumping her car into another vehicle, has been fined and banned from the roads for being over double the limit.

Lisa Wilkinson, 45, of Kempsford Gardens, Chelsea pleaded guilty at Hammersmith Magistrates Court (pictured) to driving her Honda Civic with excess alcohol in her breath in Notting Hill Gate on April 20.


The court heard it was 7.30pm when police were told by the other driver he suspected Wilkinson was under the influence of alcohol and she was pulled over outside Marks & Spencer's.


She failed a roadside breath-test and later gave a breath reading of 89 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35.


Wilkinson was banned for drink driving in 2002 and has lost her job as a sales negotiator as a result of her latest conviction.


She was fined £250, with £85 costs, ordered to pay a £25 victim surcharge and disqualified from driving for twenty months.
