A tired doctor took a nap in her car after her hospital shift and ended up in a police cell, a court heard. Dr Laura Quest was arrested after she failed to provide a roadside breath test.

But she has now been discharged and deemed 'morally blameless' by a judge after the 61-year-old insisted she had been having a sleep in her car after finishing work at Tameside Hospital.

The locum gastroenterologist was woken up by two officers who suspected she was drunk at the wheel after her Citroen C4 was spotted parked across two bays at Lymm services on the M6 at 1.40am on September 6.

One of the patrolmen conducted a breath test procedure at the roadside but when Dr Quest failed to adequately blow into the breathalyser machine she was arrested for failing to cooperate with a preliminary test and taken to police station.
