Hide AdSmith, of Belgrave Road, Poulton, had been found guilty in her absence at a previous hearing for failing to provide a follow up sample when she was arrested and taken to a local police station.
She was also guilty of driving with a bald tyre on her BMW.
Blackpool Magistrates heard how Smith was given further chances to provide a second sample of breath, but failed to do so.
Steven Townley, defending Smith, said: “She is highly unlikely to offend again. She has lost her job because of this offence.”
