Lesley Barton veered across the road and drove head-on towards another motorist
A retired teacher polished off several glasses of wine in her car before driving so slowly she built a long queue of motorists behind her.
Sheriff Mungo Bovey banned Barton from driving for 16 months, fined her £1,000, and said: "I consider the narrative to be extremely aggravating of this offence." "He had to take evasive action to prevent a head-on collision. He turned around and followed the accused a short distance as she continued to drive slowly along the road, holding back multiple vehicles.
"Due to his concerns, he contacted police and stood in front of her vehicle, and blocked it with his own car to prevent her leaving the scene." "She had been out and stopped at the supermarket to purchase various items, one of which was a bottle of wine which was intended for the family dinner later that evening. She was on her way to a meeting and stopped outside the meeting place.
"It was uncharacteristic of her. She was caused some alarm by the vehicle coming alongside her when she was on her own.
