It's shocking that she didn't get a prison sentence! Surely, at the very least, after 5 drink/drug driving charges already, she should've have been banned from driving for life, not just another 2 years!! I'm sick of all these 'celebs' getting away with things that ordinary folks never would, and shouldn't!

They then go on to be treated like they are victims because they have such difficult, stressful lives. The media are all over them, paying for their sob stories, and interviews. Then they're being offered lucrative jobs on tv, and earning more than most ordinary, hard working, decent folk could only ever dream of! Don't get me wrong, I'm all for people doing well for themselves, but not repeat criminals!

Frankly, I don't want to see this woman on tv ever again, knowing that she's being paid a fortune, after getting away with her criminal activities yet again! What kind of message does that give to young people today?!

I think she has problems with alcohol and needs to go back to rehab. With this being such a lenient sentence its not a deterrent. I just hope any other 'accident' isn't more serious. To be honest she'd be better hiring a driver, since she isn't in a fit state to drive herself around.

She will never learn and should be ashamed of herself. To get behind the wheel of a car under the influence of alcohol and cocaine is a disgraceful act . She has got away with it again . Take the alcohol and drugs if she must- but to drive is utter madness . She should have a prison sentence.

She gets away with it as a lot of famous people do.
They get away with all sorts of things.
She's no worse, no better, but a total liability, I agree.

Very lenient only giving a two year ban after several previous convictions for drink driving. She clearly never learns her lesson and it’s very concerning.

What a disgrace. She is a complete liability.

I think the Judge said she deserved prison but she'd gone to rehab which meant she didn't need to be imprisoned. Not sure why.

I don't think banning her from driving will have much affect. She's been banned and gone on to drive on more than one occasion.

With this last incident maybe she will take stock and decide that she needs to be very careful. She was very lucky not to have been injured.

Should Katie Price have been given a suspended sentence and a 2yr ban, which she undoubtedly will ignore. This is her 5th conviction for drink/drug driving. The judge said she had "one of the worst driving records I have seen".
Why is she allowed to own a car, anyone allowing her to drive a care should also be committing an offence. It is only pure luck that she has not killed anyone yet. On this occasion she managed to flip the vehicle. How does she get away with it?
