Motorcycle instructor 3 times over limit - was drunk with booze in pocket during lesson!




Sandra Kenyon, 46, fell off her motorbike three times during a lesson with a pupil and was arrested when police found two bottles of brandy in her jacket - one empty and one three-quarters full.

Quote from the article:
She was almost four times over the limit.

The mother-of-two, who had worked for a riding school for nine years, was giving a lesson to learner biker Philip Hopkins in Bradford, West Yorks., on March 3.

Bingley Magistrates Court heard yesterday that shortly after setting off, Kenyon dropped her bike and needed help picking it back up. She then fell as she approached a set of traffic lights and again on a roundabout.

On the last occasion, her pupil heard her cry out through the headphone.
