A woman has been banned from driving for three years after she was caught driving in Chesham while more than four times over the legal limit.
Zoe Hill, aged 22, was severely intoxicated when she was caught driving along Blackwell Hall Lane, in Latimer, in a Suzuki Jimny, on April 26.
When she carried out a breath test, Hill gave a reading of 144 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms, meaning she was more than four times over the limit.

Hill, who is from Chinley in Derbyshire, pleaded guilty to a charge of drink driving at Wycombe Magistrates’ Court on November 5.
After admitting the offence, the justices gave Hill an eight-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months, and ordered her to carry our 80 hours of unpaid work within the next year.
Hill was also banned from driving for three years, although this could be reduced by 36 weeks if she agrees to undertake a driving safety course.
The offender was also ordered to pay £213 costs to the court.
