Dashcam Footage Shows Drunk Woman's Erratic Driving And Inevitable Crash
To highlight the dangers of drink driving, Sussex Police this week released the rather terrifying video above. It was captured by the dashcam of a Vauxhall Corsa being piloted by a drunk driver, and it’s particularly disturbing to watch.
We see the Corsa driver clipping kerbs, veering off the road and hitting a bush, charging through a residential area at 50mph, and finally slamming into a parked Audi A4 in Bexhill, East Sussex at nearly 40mph. It’s those final moments that are perhaps the most distressing - it looks as though the driver made no attempt to avoid the crash.
What’s not shown is the moment the driver - later identified as 41-year-old teacher Louise Willard - reversed away from the A4 and drove off. Willard - who somehow wasn’t injured in the wreck - stopped shortly after. Police were soon in attendance, and when breathalysed, Willard was found to be around three times over the legal limit.
She was found guilty of drink driving and failing to stop after the scene of an accident at Hasting Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday this week. Willard had her license taken away for two years and was sentenced to 150 hours of community service.

Congratulations you played yaself.
Why when I read drunk woman I instantly tought of England. What is so miserable about life there that turns women into alcoholics? Poor Corsa, really cute car.
I mean it’s barely 4 PM. Being dead drunk at that hour is a clear sign of alcoholism.
What? Britain may be slightly worse than other European countries but not by a lot. The whole continent is full of drunks and don’t even get me started on the States and ex-soviet block. Apart from a few obscure African countries Russia leads the world in alcohol consumption.
What’s most concerning is that this woman is a teacher and yet this footage is from a Wednesday afternoon only an hour or so after school would have finished! Who gets drunk mid afternoon on a weekday anyway?!
