A judge has said he'd be failing in his duty if he didn't jail a mother of three who drunkenly drove twenty-three miles the wrong way along the M5 towards Weston.

Deborah Hunt, an unemployed alcoholic, has been sentenced to nine months behind bars and banned from driving, after pleading guilty to a number of charges relating to the incident in July.

The forty-three year old joined the motorway southbound at Junction Twenty-four before performing a u-turn.

Incredibly, no-one was hurt, and Hunt was arrested after running out of petrol.
