Kelsey Ridings was cleared of drink driving after claiming she had consumed two pints of vodka and coke in just 15 minutes to ‘calm herself down’.
A mum who tested almost four times the alcohol limit following a car crash was cleared after claiming she had drunk alcohol after the accident.
After exchanging details with the other driver Carl Kidd, who was taking his heavily pregnant partner to see his parents, she left before police could attend. But at Tameside magistrates court, Ridings was cleared of drink driving after claiming she had consumed the two pints in just 15 minutes at the home of her best friend Paige Azad to ‘calm herself down’ before being given a lift home.In delivering their not guilty verdict JPs said Ridings’ account was ‘often confused and misleading’ while Miss Azad’s evidence was ‘totally incredible’ but ruled prosecutors had not proved its case against her beyond a reasonable doubt.
‘We were not getting anywhere. I went to Paige’s house and there I was trying to calm down and I asked her to get me a drink.’
