Appearing at Carlisle Magistrates Court was Roxanne Louise Ireland, 24, of Brentford Way, Penrith.
She pleaded guilty to drink-driving on August 17, judge Gerald Chalk was told Ireland failed a roadside breath test and was arrested.
At the police station she gave a reading of 41mcg of alcohol in 100ml of breath, the legal limit is 35.
Miss Ireland told the court she was not trying evade police, she was trying to find a parking place and visit a friend.
