A WOMAN who was caught drink driving in a Mercedes has been ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid work.

Wigan magistrates heard how Ruth Noi, aged 39, of The Pungle, Westhoughton, had drunk almost triple the legal amount of alcohol when she drove the vehicle on Hindley Road, Bolton, on December 19 last year.

Noi pleaded guilty to drink driving and also admitted driving without due care and attention.

Magistrates ordered her to have treatment for alcohol addiction and she must participate in 17 days of rehabilitation activities.

In addition to a driving ban for 23 months, Noi was told she must pay £180 in costs and charges.
