THE family of a woman killed by a drink-driver said his six-year jail term will never make up for the "trail of destruction" he has caused.
Jacqueline Trowbridge, 51, of Semley died when her motorbike collided with a Ford Focus on the A361 near Bridgwater at around 3.15pm on Sunday, August 22.
The uninsured car driver Paul Ardley, 23, of Street, who admitted causing the death of the grandmother by careless driving while over the alcohol limit, was jailed for six years at Taunton Crown Court on Thursday.
The court heard Ardley pulled out in front of Mrs Trowbridge as she passed a pub car park.
When Ardley entered his guilty plea a few weeks after the crash, he did not seek bail, and took the view that he should be punished.
