Woman stopped by police was four times over alcohol limit and could barely walk

She said Green gave a roadside reading of 152 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath, more than quadruple the legal limit of 35mcg. She gave an evidential reading at the police station of 122mcg, still more than three times over the limit. "She is an active member of Alcoholics Anonymous and in that time has had just four relapses," said Mr Gretton. Mr Gretton said his client had lost her mother and her husband in quick succession. "This incident was near to the anniversary of her mother's death," said Mr Gretton.
