A businesswoman from Bolton who was caught drink driving on a night out tried to blame it on 'separation anxiety' from her 12 month old son. Mother of two Elizabeth Prince claimed she only jumped behind the wheel of Fiat 500 and drove home at 1am after being triggered by the sounds of her crying youngster she had left with her grandmother.
The 29-year-old had been drinking wine on a night out with her personal assistant. Police stopped her shortly afterwards when a patrolman saw her speeding and ''weaving'' around the carriageway with her car juddering as if it was in the wrong gear.
Prince was said to be slurring her words and smelling of alcohol with tests showing she had 51 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mg.

The incident occurred on January 31 last year during lockdown after Prince had asked her mother to look after her baby whilst she met her PA who was in her ''social bubble.''
During the evening at the PA's house the pair drank wine but trouble began when Prince who also has a daughter aged nine fielded a phone call from her mother Joanne who said she was struggling to get the baby settled.
Prince told the hearing: ''When he cries, that is my trigger and I cannot be apart from him. I had been in a violent and abusive relationship and the violence took place in the presence of both of my children and I was in between it all.
