A 37-year-old teacher has been banned from driving after crashing her Land Rover into railings outside a primary school while drunk and then fleeing the scene. The case highlights the serious consequences of drink-driving in areas frequented by children, and is notable because the offender's profession as an educator drew particular scrutiny given the location of the incident.

The woman lost control of her vehicle and struck railings directly outside a primary school before leaving the scene rather than remaining to face the aftermath. She was subsequently identified, prosecuted for drink-driving offences, and handed a driving ban by the court as a result of the incident.
