A lorry driver who resigned from the career that she loved after being found drink-driving her HGV on a major Shropshire A-road has been disqualified for 18 months.
Gaynor Clarkson, aged 51, of Cleveland Street, Shrewsbury, pleaded guilty to driving when over the legal limit on the A49 near Shrewsbury on November 18, 2022, when she appeared at Telford Magistrates Court.
"The lowest of the readings taken was 71, which is twice the legal limit of 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath." "I have had a rough few years, my father died in January after a long illness and it was making me feel like I have lost my whole family." "I had to resign from my job, have no income and am looking for work," she told the three magistrates.
