FGM charity worker, 38, who was found drunk at wheel of her Mercedes during Ramadan escapes a ban after claiming she was waiting in her car to avoid her strict Muslim father
Sarah Malik, 38, (pictured left and right) failed a breath test after police found her in the driver's seat of her stationary C180 Kompressor at midnight on April 22 in Hale Barns, Cheshire. The qualified psychotherapist, who is a campaign coordinator for charity NESTAC which helps victims of FGM and supports the BAME community, had been taking a video call from other relatives in Australia on her mobile phone at the time. One of the traffic officers said Malik smelled of intoxicants, her eyes were 'watery and glazed' and her speech slurred before a reading showed she was 19 points over the alcohol limit. But Malik claimed she had only been consuming excess alcohol at the wheel of her vehicle while waiting for her father, a local community leader in the affluent suburb, to leave their nearby £2million property to attend a 4am call to prayer at his local mosque. At Stockport Magistrates Court Malik, now of Lymm, faced disqualification after being charged with drink driving - but she was instead given ten points on her licence after her guilty plea to being drunk in charge of a car was accepted. Unlike driving with excess alcohol, the offence of drunk in charge does not carry a mandatory ban.
