Paris Hilton - A Bad Driver?

Paris Hilton has reportedly been driven screaming back to jail. She's doing some time at the moment as firstly she was on probation for drink-driving but then took the decision to still drive her Bentley without a valid license.

So, not just one but two offences. Drink driving is pretty despicable. Someone at work recently admitted they had 'four or five drinks' and still drove home because they felt fine. Tell me when you don't feel 'fine' after a few drinks? Frankly I think the law as it stands isn't hard enough on drink driving offences. It's pretty obvious that alcohol can have a huge effect even in small doses if you're say stressed or have had a very tiring day (or suffering from lack of sleep, or a whole range of other affects) so why risk it at all?

Paris Hilton also drove without a valid license. I haven't followed the full facts of the case but I'm assuming that this means whilst on probation she was under a driving ban. Whoops, she still drove. As if she can't afford a chauffeur. Well, whatever. I guess her Bentley will just have to be parked for a while. Given how rich she is (coupled with her total disregard for the safety of others) I am hoping that the 45 days in jail does make her think twice before getting behind the wheel of anything faster than a boxcart.
