- CARL JACKSON Court Reporter

A DRUNK woman who crashed her car while banned from driving lied to the police that she was her own mother.

Sonia Singh was twice caught behind the wheel in Birmingham despite being disqualified from driving.

The 25-year-old developed a drinking problem following the separation of her parents, Birmingham Crown Court heard.

Singh, from Myvod Road, Wednesbury, admitted perverting the course of justice, two counts of driving while banned, driving with excess alcohol and without insurance.

She had been remanded in jail at HMP Foston Hall in Derbyshire but was spared further imprisonment when she was instead handed a community order.

Singh was also ordered to complete an alcohol treatment programme and 30 days of rehabilitation activity requirement.
