Harlow is becoming the worst county for drink driving. This driver should be jailed, short,sharp shock, will do more than a slap on the wrist. He could have injured so many people, I know he did not, but driving in that state, he knew he could.

The criminal justice is pathetic. No jail time and a £145 fine after wasting so much of the tax payers money. Would get a more harsh penalty for no tv license. This country is a joke.
