//£270 fine and 5 months ban not a bad result for being Brahms, //
I don't know what Scotland is doing with its drink driving law. I know they have reduced the limit (to about 60% of the English limits) but I didn't know they'd faffed about with the sentencing.
In England there is a minimum mandatory ban of twelve months. As well as that, with a reading at that level (three times the limit in England) she would be facing a ban of at least 23 months and a community order rather than a derisory fine.
As for her "mitigation" it's the biggest load of cobblers I've heard for a while.
Welcome to the wonderful world of "devolution".
