    Thankfully no one has been killed in this incident.
    Isn’t it time that those who choose to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs;have no licence or insurance – face a lengthy mandatory prison sentence ?

      They should also have their vehicle taken away and crushed, there needs to be a stronger deterrent, rather than a ban which is ignored and a small fine which is never paid. We should also adopt the same practice as other countries where you must display your insurance as far too many are driving without insurance.

        Thats a very good point about the insurance being displayed.
        Yes – much stiffer penalties are required.

      Looking at the damage to the front wing of the Vauxhall Corsa – she probably hit it,lost control and flipped it over.

        It was probably something like that John, she must have been travelling at a fair lick to manage it though.
