Danielle Davis drove 50 metres before being caught mid-range drink-driving

Danielle Marie Davis, 42, of Molloy Drive, was not present in court when she was sentenced for mid-range drink-driving.

According to police, officers were patrolling in Peisley Street when they saw a car pull out from a small car park next to Beaumont Tiles and drive north at 12.30am on October 30.

The car didn't have its headlights on and the car drove about 50 metres before reverse angle parking on the other side of the road.

Police approached the car and spoke to Davis who was in the driver's seat and said she was "waiting on some kids".

Police said she was slurring her words and when asked if she had been drinking she said she had her last drink about an hour earlier.

She returned a positive result and was arrested and taken to Orange Police Station for a breath analysis.

Davis returned a mid-range reading of 0.108.

Magistrate David Day fined her disqualified her from driving for two months and was placed on a 12-month interlock order.

She was not present in court but sent a letter in and said she didn't think she was over the limit.

"I guarantee neither you or the court will see me again," Mr Day said reading from the letter.

He said at the time of the offence Davis was on a Conditional Release Order for an unrelated matter.
