"If You Die, I Am Not Responsible": Drunk Mom Crashes Car of Teens Who Begged Her to Slow Down
Share this @internewscast.com

A British woman is facing jail time after a reckless driving incident left several teenagers injured.

Faye Dawson, 50, has been handed a 14-month prison sentence along with a nearly five-year driving ban following her guilty plea to charges of dangerous driving, as reported by Staffordshire Police in their announcement on April 9.

The charges relate to an event on March 7, 2025, when Dawson drove at 80 miles per hour—exceeding the speed limit by 20 miles—on the wrong side of a road in Cheadle, England. This reckless action resulted in a single-vehicle crash, according to police reports.

Dawson lost control of her Vauxhall Corsa with five teenagers inside, four of whom sustained injuries, as detailed in the police statement. As reported by the UK’s LBC, one of the teenagers suffered a fractured spine and required hospitalization.

Footage from dashcams, shared by police and covered by LBC, The Independent, and The Daily Mail, captures the moments leading up to the accident. In the video, Dawson is heard saying “I need it, I need it,” while the teenagers in the vehicle pleaded with her to slow down.

During an earlier part of the journey, Dawson reportedly declared, “I’m a rally car driver and a b—h … You get in here with your life,” and also said, “If you die right now, I’ve got no f–king consequence,” according to the footage.

“I’m not a safe driver … Right now, I’m alcohol and [have had] a smoke,” she later added, “so [I’m] even more f–king dangerous.”

Dawson also told the teens in the car, “Are you buckled in? Because if you die, I am not responsible for you,” according to LBC and The Daily Mail, citing the dashcam footage.

In a victim statement, the teen who suffered the spinal fracture said, “I thought I was going to die,” per LBC and Stoke-on-Trent Live. “I had to have time off school to recover. I feel very anxious in vehicles. I have nightmares and flashbacks. I had to live with back pain for six months.”

Meanwhile, Staffordshire Police constable Luke Randall called her actions “reckless and selfish,” in a statement, “and this custodial sentence reflects that.”

During the sentencing, Dawson’s attorney reportedly told the court that the mother has no interest in getting behind the wheel in the future.

“She will never drive again, such is the traumatic effect of what took place,” he said, according to The Daily Mail and The Sun. “She feels genuine remorse and empathy with the people in the car that night.”
