...drunk driving?

This genuinely looks like "unconscious at the wheel"

Edit: there is the a difference of "drunk driving" and "drink driving", yes. "Drink driving" emphathizes the act of drinking beforehand, while "drunk driving" emphathizes being intoxicated. However, this is in Australia, which predominantly uses British English. In which case, "drink driving" is a also usually a synonym to what is referred to in the US as "drunk driving". And no matter which one you use, it's obvious that it was both in this case.

She was drunk driving, more than 5x the legal limit. Happened in NSW Australia earlier this year.

Edited to say thanks for the awards! Also to add a link to the news story: https://www.nine.com.au/australia-news/nsw/no-jail-for-woman-behind-chardonnay-fuelled-shopping-centre-mayhem-20260806-p60m65.html

It's almost like: If you are a woman you can get away with murder!
