Taylor Lorraine Morgan said she’d had a bad year – it just got worse

The 26-year-old mother of two was caught drink-driving while disqualified in an unregistered and uninsured vehicle.

Taylor Lorraine Morgan pleaded guilty before Toowoomba Magistrates Court on January 27 to drink-driving, disqualified driving and unregistered, uninsured car.

A MOTHER of two has told Toowoomba Magistrates Court of having a very bad year in 2021 and 2022 hasn’t started out much better after she was fined and ordered off the road for two years.

Taylor Lorraine Morgan was pulled over by a police patrol on Tor St about 12.30am, December 8, the court heard.

She blew a breath/alcohol reading of 0.59 and checks of the vehicle she was driving was found to be unregistered and uninsured.

Worse still was that the 26-year-old was driving while disqualified, having been disqualified from driving for four months by the same court in October last year, police prosecutor Sergeant Jacquelyn Miller told the court.

The self represented Morgan pleaded guilty to drink driving while disqualified and driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle.

She told the court she had endured a very difficult 12 months and had been effectively left homeless and was seeking a home for her two children and herself.

She said she had also grieved the death of a close cousin.

Magistrate Howard Osborne fined her a total $1631 and disqualified her from holding or obtaining a driver’s licence for a total two years and one month.
