She remains in custody at this time.

There getting younger absolute idiots on these roads and these will kill innocent people.
theres very few punishments available for this type of crime that would stop them doing it again and again .lifetime ban that would sort it or deter it
The Law needs to get tougher on drink and drug
driving.
Immediate imprisonment is the answer.
Any selfish B’stard who is caught behind the
wheel drunk should be locked up with immediate
effect.
Re-open Camp Hill prison and put these selfish
B’stards inside, it will be full by the end of December.
I would like to see a larger Police presence
patrolling Island Roads.
Our taxes keep going up, let’s see some action.
I wonder who will pay for the damage to the vehicles,
being drunk obviously the insurance will be void,
so the drunk driver should be coughing up for all
the damage caused.
That wall in cowes still down he did’nt put nothing into repairing it’s been like it for month’s now bloody eyesore council useless..these pricks do all the damage but never get to put it right ..
The Law is lax on the island.
They should take the money straight from their
Salaries etc
Sadly, the Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB) will pay for the damages. In essence, it will be you and me, as increasing our insurance premiums will pay the MIB.
I’m interested in how a 23 year old can afford the expense of gaining and then losing her liscense. Plus the added expense on the insurance for the next 5years plus. Clearly more money than brains.
