Beauty Salon owner dubbed 'Queensland's drunkest driver' found ten times over legal limit

A Gold Coast beauty salon boss has been dubbed one of Australia’s worst drink drivers, after she was allegedly found to be driving ten times over the legal limit.

Angela Bisson, 42, is set to be sentenced for driving under the influence after she was found by paramedics slumped in her car outside her Mane Hair & Beauty Salon.

Bisson was arrested and charged after paramedics found her passed out in the car that was parked outside the Gold Coast salon last October.

Her blood alcohol reading of .48 shocked police, who declared it a Queensland drink driving record.

The legal limit is .05.

Queensland University professor Jake Najman told the Daily Mail that most drinkers would have passed out at 0.3 and would be comatose or at risk of death by 0.4.

Ms Bisson has pleaded guilty to high range drink driving which means she could face up to nine months prison when she is sentenced on Friday in Southport Magistrates Court.

The Daily Mail reports that since Bisson’s arrest she has shared drinking related photos on her Facebook page more than once.

Last May a 52-year-old man was also booked for high range drink driving on the same street where Bisson’s salon is located in Runaway Bay.

In January another woman claimed the highest ever blood alcohol reading in NSW with 0.486.

The 52-year-old was driving along a road near Coffs Harbour one afternoon when she crashed into a fence.
