A former air hostess was caught drunk at the wheel of her car at 2am after making a 'foolish' decision to drive home following a night drinking wine with friends.
Abigail Alty, from Southport, Merseyside, had stopped drinking for around two hours before getting behind the wheel of her Fiat 600 and said she thought she was in a fit state to drive.
The 31-year-old, who now works as a housing manager, had spent the evening of May 16 with friends when her work called with the opportunity to take up some unexpected overtime the following day.
After agreeing to take up the offer, Ms Alty remained with her friends into the early hours of the morning before taking to the roads and overtaking a police car.
Merseyside Police officers noticed that she was struggling to stay in the lane ahead before signalling her to pull over.
