Draperstown drink driver 'almost drove through' police vehicle checkpoint
A court heard an over-the-limit motorist "almost drove through" a police vehicle checkpoint after approaching at "speed".
Irina Bradley (34), of Scutchers Lane, Draperstown, was detected at Castle Road, Randalstown, on March 4. She had an alcohol in breath reading of 64 - the legal limit is 35.
A barrister said the defendant had been in a bar and unable to get a lift she made a "very foolish decision" to drive.
At Antrim Magistrates Court, sitting in Ballymena, she received a one-year driving ban and £250 fine.
