A court heard that a mother had been prohibited from driving for three years after she was so intoxicated that she mistakenly believed a CD to be her driving licence. Isaura Matsinhe, 36, had been out drinking wine with friends and had then moved onto consuming strong cocktails during a night out on Saturday. When she almost crashed her Skoda into a police car that had to swerve out of her way in Marchwiel, near Wrexham, she was stopped. She then attempted to give officers a CD case from her glove box when asked for her licence. Prosecutor Suzanne Cartwright mentioned that Matsinhe had glazed eyes and had admitted to spending the night in the pub. Her breath sample revealed a result of 199 micrograms, which was more than five times the legal driving limit of 35. Magistrates in Wrexham were told that Matsinhe was 'horrified and ashamed' of her actions. In defense, Catherine Jagger stated that getting into the vehicle was nothing short of 'a moment of madness'. As a result, the mother-of-one from the village where she was arrested was given a 20-week prison sentence that was suspended for two years. If you have a story for us, please email us at email.
