Swinburn-Ledger pleaded guilty to the offences when she appeared before magistrates in Harrogate.

Harrogate road policing team’s Traffic Constable David Minto said: “This court result should serve as a stark and sobering reminder to anyone that drink and drug driving in North Yorkshire will not be tolerated.

“We will utilise every tool at our disposal to bring offenders before the courts and make the roads a much safer place for everyone.”
