” At the same time, another vehicle was placed behind the Audi at a preventive reinforced stop. The officers left the police vehicle and saw a man in the passenger seat. The officers approach next to the passenger and the defendant can be seen talking to the man. It seems to panic and frantic while she is talking.

Prohibited months before after being caught in Salford

Hughes had been forbidden to drive for 12 months in February 2024 by JPS in Manchester after he was caught driving an Ford Ecosport in the Salford Area while once and a half the alcohol limit.

In mitigation, the defense lawyer, the lawyer of the defense lawyer, Eileen Chiseall, said that Hughes had been “strongly influenced” by the man who entered his life at a time when his father had died.

“She was a very vulnerable person and had been afraid of him,” said Miss Chinsnall. ” I was shouting in the car and was saying ‘just driving’ and ‘simply going’ and did it.

” He is clearly a man with some history and that is something she did not know totally. Fortunately, she came to her senses and no longer sees that person. She said “I have moved on and I have my children to take care.”

Miss Gugnall added: “She is a very respected member of her community. His colleagues talk about a respectable and hardworking lady dedicated to raising her two children as a single. She is described as an inspiration for young personnel and children who are a mentor in the classroom. And it is improving.

” The school sponsors to make a teaching degree and she will improve life for her and her children. She is a lady who expresses a genuine remorse and has had insomnia nights due to reviving that night’s events.

“She shows realistically that the starting point is a prison sentence. She has come with a bag today and has made arrangements for her mother to take care of the two children. She knows that the stage could have been totally disastrous for other road users or innocent people.

“But it clearly needs some kind of support and intervention to deal with these events that influenced it strongly at that time. She recognizes where she was wrong and is responsible for crimes.

“In other words, what type of person is when people who have taken the annoyance of writing these references are not family or close friends, but people with whom they work. Her boss, the interim director, people who clearly think of many Hughes.

” They know everything about the situation. She has not tried to distinguish that this was not her fault. She completely accepts that she was and her decision making that day. She came clean with her employers, clean with which she works. It is still valued by young children who mentor. ”

‘It was very dangerous’

Hughes was also ordered to complete 60 hours of unpaid work, a mental health treatment requirement of 12 months and 10 days of rehabilitation activity. He was also forbidden to drive for three years and must pay £ 239 in costs and surcharge for victims.

District judge Paul Healey said: “He shouldn’t have been in that vehicle to start, but made a conscious decision to drive. There was a contempt for other road users and you already put yourself other road users with a significant risk. It was very dangerous to drive.

” You accept responsibility, but I have also accepted the role of man in the vehicle and also pressed you to drive. You are realistic that the decision is whether it is an immediate custody today, but you have two children and you are a single father and I considered the impact of that if it were in prison today.

“I take into account the school where he works and a prison term would mean loss of employment. You are a highly valued member of the community. You are embarking to a certain degree. They think a lot about you and are financing you to get a title that will lead to a teaching qualification. I have taken into account all those factors to be able to impose a sentence of custody today. ”
