Police said the woman was allegedly more than four times over the drink-drive limit when she was arrested this morning outside Wrockwardine Wood Infant School.

Officers ran checks on the red Toyota car and reported that she was allegedly driving without insurance.

They said the grandmother then blew a breath test reading of 145 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35 microgrammes.

Telford Patrol tweeted: "On today's unbelievable tales from #Telford we have a lady who dropped her grandchildren off at school driving without #Insurance.

"She then blew a whopping 145 on the breath test! Arrested for #DrinkDrive. Off to court next to get #Schooled."

Telford Patrol tweeted: "These people never think about how much worse it could have been. They don't think beyond their own need to get somewhere quickly and put everyone else's safety second to their 'needs'."
