A trainee teacher was caught drink-driving after police pulled her over for having no headlights on.
Demi Harper had been out clubbing in Blyth with a friend when she was persuaded to give them a lift home. A court heard that the 23-year-old soon came to the attention of officers after she forgot to illuminate her lights, despite travelling at night.
She was stopped and asked to do a roadside breath test after it was deemed she was under the influence of booze. Harper was arrested after providing a positive sample, later giving a reading of 73mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath when the legal limit is just 35mcg.
