Post subject: Drink driver cashes in | |
|
A mother drinks six shots of whisky, bundles her three young children into her car and then tried to drive them more than 20km home.
Now she is trying to cash in on her notoriety.
Melinda Holmes's blood-alcohol concentration allegedly was 0.201 -- four times the legal limit -- when she sat behind the wheel at a friend's house last Saturday night.

Love this quote.
Quote: | "I was driving back from a friend's house," she said. "It's never happened before. It will never happen again," she said crying.
Ms Holmes said she had not yet received her summons, but she had given up driving. |

What worries me is that some bright spark in the media will pay her for the story. |

No doubt whatsoever.
Indeed the Herald Sun has already given her the publicity she wants. Just wait until A Current Affair/Today Tonight get onto it.
BTW those shows are a joke, I've never really watched them but my Grandma does. They're the televised equivalent of a tabloid. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |
