Drunk, High Mom's Wild Ride

0:00On April 9th, a 50-year-old mom named Fay Dawson got behind the wheel, drunk and high on cannabis last March, speeding at nearly 80 miles per hour with five teenagers in her voxalkorsa. Das Cam footage caught her bragging about her wild driving style right before she lost control, crashed into the roadside and rolled the van. Four of the kids, age 14 and 15 ended up hurt, with one suffering a spine fracture bad enough for hospital detention. She'd worn the youngsters, she wasn't safe to ride with, admitting her buzz from booze and weed made her even riskier, but kept pushing the pedal. Anyway, the group was heading home when she swirved onto the wrong side of the road at that insane speed, turning a simple lift into a nightmare rollover. The kids were terrified, screaming and begging her to slow down, with some saying they truly thought they would die. They dealt with panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, and months of back pain or time off school, feeling trapped and powerless in that moment. This week at Stoken Trent Crown Court,

1:03Dawson pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and got 14 months in jail, plus a 55-month driving, ban and an extended retest before she can drive again. The judge called out her arrogance for ignoring road rules while impaired, saying it was a miracle no one died and only custody fits this mess though. She claims real remorse en vows never to drive due to her own trauma.
