一名英国护士因醉酒驾车认罪, 遭14个月的禁令及罚款, A UK nurse lost her job after pleading guilty to drunk driving, receiving a 14-month ban and fine.

Emma Williams, 44岁,来自Malmesbury的NHS护理协调员,因10月17日在Chippenham驾车超过法定酒精限量而认罪,她失去了工作。 Emma Williams, a 44-year-old NHS care co-ordinator from Malmesbury, lost her job after pleading guilty to driving over the legal alcohol limit in Chippenham on October 17. 她的车辆与一个无关的事件有关,之后在布里斯托尔路被拦下;一次呼吸测试显示,她几乎是法定限制的两倍。 She was stopped on Bristol Road after her vehicle was linked to an unrelated incident; a breath test showed she was nearly double the legal limit. Williams没有被定罪,她告诉法庭说,在家庭危机之后,她急匆匆忙忙忙忙地回家见孩子,并不打算开车。 Williams, with no prior convictions, told the court she was rushing home to her children after a family crisis and did not intend to drive. 她的辩护人援引了她照顾她依赖酒精的丈夫的作用,以及她农村地区缺乏公共交通工具的情况。 Her defense cited her role caring for her alcohol-dependent husband and the lack of public transport in her rural area. 法官实施了为期14个月的禁止驾驶令——比通常的17个月短——加上200英镑罚款、80英镑附加费和85英镑起诉费,并提供了可以将禁令减少14周的课程。 The judge imposed a 14-month driving ban—shorter than the typical 17 months—along with a £200 fine, £80 surcharge, and £85 in prosecution costs, and offered a course that could reduce the ban by 14 weeks. 她现在在寻求新就业时,将要求获得普遍信贷。 She will now claim universal credit while seeking new employment.
