Mother who nearly crashed becomes latest drink driver to be banned after a McDonald's trip
A drink driver who went for a late night McDonald's while almost three times the limit was caught after a worker witnessed her nearly crash into a wall.
Mother-of-two Hannah Wellings, aged 33, had been at a wedding before she drove an Audi A1 to the fast food chain's restaurant in Shrewsbury Road, Oswestry in the early hours of August 12.
Wellings is at least the third Shropshire drink driver in the last month to be convicted and banned from the road after being tempted by a trip to McDonald's
Telford Magistrates Court was told police received a call from an employee at the drive-thru about a woman who was "intoxicated" at 4.30am.
The worker said Wellings almost crashed into a wall and was "slurring her speech".
At 4.35am, her vehicle's registration was picked up by an Automatic Number Plate Recognition camera and police went to intercept her.
An officer caught up to Wellings and followed her for almost a mile. He described her "unacceptable standard of driving", and how she was "swerving across the central line".
