The dangers of drinking while on a caravan trip were highlighted during a recent court hearing in Skegness.
Donna Robinson, from Northampton, had travelled to the Golden Sands site on the Lincolnshire coast in the hope of enjoying a weekend away with her family.
However, as the Louth Leader reports, the time away took a turn for the worse when the 38-year-old, who later admitted to drinking at the time, became upset after failing to locate her purse.
An argument with her family and husband ensued, at which point she decided to get into her car and drive to the front of the site, where she would then rest.
But Ms Robinson had failed to account for security staff on the caravan park, who after seeing the intoxicated 38-year-old, promptly contacted police.
Standing in court earlier this month, the defendant admitted to driving whilst unfit through drink and was banned from the roads for 12 months, receiving a fine of over £200 in the process.
The story is a stern reminder of the dangers of consuming alcohol and operating motor vehicles, something the government is particularly weary of after figures showed a rise in the number of deaths related to this last year.
