A teenage girl who ploughed her car into a fence after leaving a pub tried to swap seats with her passenger in a bid to dodge the blame, a court heard.
Molly Pickering, from Stalybridge, had been drinking with friends in a local pub on the evening of January 21 this year. The 18-year-old had driven there with the intention of leaving her car, the court heard.
But she 'made the poor decision to drive' following 'peer pressure' from friends and smashed her Ford Fiesta into a fence on the way home. Paramedics who were called to the scene of the incident - which happened at around 2am - spotted her switching seats with her female passenger.
