A good deed to get a feed for her brother has left a bad taste for a spicy past driver who should have called UberEats instead.

A need for a KFC feed has led to a liquor-loving driver ending up in court.
Rahma Abdillahi was pulled over by police after she had embarked on a quest to the Colonel on behalf of her baby brother.
Problem was the good sister has a spicy past, having been pinged for drunk-driving while a learner.
The Noble Park North 23-year-old pleaded guilty to one charge of driving while disqualified at the online Dandenong Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
The court heard Abdillahi was seen by police at 12.20am on November 6 last year driving on the Princes Highway in Dandenong South.
Her sedan was flagged as having an unlicensed driver at the helm, and she was pulled over.
She told officers she knew she didn’t have a valid licence but her brother was hungry and needed to eat.
She had been disqualified in January last year after blowing .074 and giving police a false name.
She was fined $750 and banned from driving for six months, and told she needed to apply to a court to get her licence back.
But she hadn’t bothered.
The aged care personal care assistant represented herself in court, saying she was sorry she had done the wrong thing.
Abdillahi said it was just after midnight and she was looking after her brother, who has a disability, and he “demanded” she get him some KFC so she jumped in the car.
Magistrate Costas Kilias said she obviously didn’t think things through.
“There is something called UberEats,” he said.
“Maybe you should have used that instead.”
He told her to contact a court as soon as possible and apply for her licence to be reinstated.
Abdillahi was fined $300, with no conviction recorded.
