He also opened the boot and bonnet before she reversed and then crashed head-first into another motor. 

Stay-at-home gran Tracey Spraggon, 55, heard the commotion and watched through her window as the blinded driver smashed the Mercedes hatchback into her family’s Volkswagen Touran last month in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.

She said:  "I'm just absolutely fuming at what she's done, driving with the bonnet up and the back end.
