Drink driving - no sympathy.

It would seem that she was working and not in receipt of benefits.
Jeppson’s solicitor Grant Daglish said his client had misunderstood the situation and had only refused to give a breath specimen due to shock and her ignorance of UK law.
He said: “This happened during a troubling time for her, as due to Brexit she was unable to apply for benefits which meant that she had to get a part-time job and was left in a difficult situation with catastrophic debt.
“She is not a UK citizen so cannot claim benefits and if she loses her licence today, she could become homeless.
“She lives in a remote area of Moray so her licence is important to her, her parents are trying to assist her as much as possible but they live in Sweden.”
