A shop assistant got drunk and drove to a McDonald's drive thru for a midnight snack, a court heard. Staff at the restaurant in Bolton said Antoinette Farley, 26, was virtually falling asleep at the wheel, swaying in her seat and slurring her words as she waited for her Big Mac and fries.
A McDonald's manager called 999 after he saw Farley struggle to drive her Citroen C4 into a nearby car park to eat her meal. He followed on foot and took the car key from her before remaining at the scene until police arrived.
Officers said the driver was so intoxicated she gave her date of birth when asked for her address. At the roadside, Farley provide a specimen of breath which showed she had 145 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
