Launceston - A naked woman arrested for drinkdriving through a town centre and crashing into two parked cars told a court yesterday she was fleeing the embrace of an over-amorous builder.

Alison Kirkby (18) was found by police naked behind the wheel of an Audi car belonging to Mr Robert Gregg (38), a married man, in Launceston, in the west of England, last month.

Ms Kirkby was banned from driving for 18 months, put on probation for a year and ordered to pay £100 compensation to both owners of the parked cars she damaged.
