Drink-drive awareness instructor caught drink driving

A motorist who ran drink-drive awareness classes has been banned from the road after being caught three times over the legal limit.

Despite this, Alison Baker, of Pinhoe, Devon, was given permission by a judge to attend the course she used to run – which would see her ban reduced by a quarter if completed.

One morning last May, the 60-year-old drove to her local petrol station twice to buy bottles of wine within a couple of hours.
