A drink-driver has been banned for 20 months after she was found at the wheel of a car while more than twice the legal limit for alcohol.
Tracey Wood was found at the wheel of a Skoda Fabia on the Argos car park on Parkhouse Way in the Kingstown area of Carlisle.
After being tested by officers, she was found to have 81 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms.
She committed the offence on June 17.
Wood, of Nelson Street in the Denton Holme area of Carlisle, appeared before the city's magistrates' court on Thursday and admitted the charge of driving a motor vehicle in a public place after consuming so much alcohol that the proportion of it in her breath exceeded the prescribed limit.
Alongside the ban she was ordered to pay a £300 fine, a £34 victim surcharge and £85 in costs.
