Emma Poingdestre was nearly three times over the limit when she accelerated instead of braking.
A court heard that when Emma Poingdestre got out of her car, she was then battered by a woman pushing a pram.The Mirror reports a judge told her that it was by “luck and not judgement” that she had not caused a fatality.
Paul Blasbery, prosecuting, described how the 55-year-old, of Moss Lane in Litherland, failed a roadside breath test and was arrested. She was then seen driving off for a short distance along the pavement outside the premises before getting out of her vehicle, at which stage an unidentified woman was seen pushing her to the floor then punching and kicking her on the ground.
“It is a very short lived period of driving. It is only in seconds, effectively, that the dangerous driving has happened. She is ashamed of herself and sorry. She has lived an industrious life and has been a valued member of society.
