A drink-driver had two young children in her car when she crashed after losing control while trying to drive past a playpark.
Katrina Craib then raced home from the scene and poured a large glass of wine in a bid to fool police into thinking she had only been drinking after the crash.
The 41-year-old admitted driving with almost twice the legal limit in Pitfour, St Madoes, Perthshire, on September 2 2018.
Depute fiscal Mairi Graham told Perth’s court: “There were numerous children and pedestrians in the vicinity. It was 1.50pm on a Sunday. She had two children in the car.
“A witness was driving towards her and observed the accused appearing to drift towards the near side. There was a minor collision and the vehicle came to a stop.
“Police were contacted and given her details by some of the residents who had seen this. At the time there were suspicions amongst them regarding her sobriety.
“Officers attended her home just after 2pm. She stated she had consumed wine following the collision. They observed half of a large glass of wine.
“They were of the opinion she had poured the wine prior to them arriving, in essence to cover up what she had done.”
Craib, of Sidlaw Park, St Madoes, told the officers: “I had a full bottle of vodka last night.”
JP Geoffrey Daniel banned Craib for a year.
