Price punched the air as she emerged from Bexley Magistrates' Court today having been given a three-month driving ban
Katie Price was today banned from driving for three months and fined £1,500 after being found slumped in a 'very' drunken state in the back of her vomit-covered pink Range Rover which police saw collide with a grass verge.
The former glamour model was almost twice the legal limit after drinking four pornstar martinis when she was arrested in the early hours last October in Greenwich, South East London.
But today she brazenly vowed to buy a new car as she spoke outside Bexley Magistrates' Court.
'I was given a choice of having 10 points on my licence or to be disqualified for three months,' she said.
'I chose to be disqualified for three months because it adds on to my disqualification that I'm already on, which means I get my driving licence back on the 24th of May which means I can go car shopping - let's ban the pink car.'
Commenting on the ban, she said: 'Brilliant, I thought I was about to get two years.'
She was also said to have climbed into the back seat to avoid being caught as the driver - but had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol.
Mother-of-five Price allegedly repeatedly denied she had been driving and claimed the driver was her boyfriend's friend - and anyone was insured to drive her car if they were aged over 30.
Today at Bexley Magistrates' Court, 40-year-old Price was cleared of drink driving after the judge said there was no case to answer, because there was no evidence of who had been driving the Range Rover before police arrived. But Price was convicted of being nearly twice the legal limit while in charge of the vehicle.

She was banned from driving for another three months and told to pay a £1,500 fine. Along with costs and a victim surcharge, her total bill for the offence came to £2,425.
Price had claimed she was not in control of the car and a mystery man had driven it, but Judge Nigel Dean found she was not a 'plausible' or 'credible' witness.

It comes after a separate case on January 9 saw Price banned from getting behind the wheel for three months after she admitted driving while disqualified and without insurance.
She was also fined £1,100 at Crawley Magistrates' Court for driving on the A24 near her West Sussex home on July 25 while a six-month driving ban was still in place.
Today, regarding the Woolwich incident on October 10 last year, Police Constables Benjamin Jones and Balvinder Mann said they first saw her car veer off the road and hit a grass verge at 12.40am before seeing it stationary about 15 minutes later.
PC Jones told the court that he approached the car to find Price in the back of the vehicle with her boyfriend, Kris Boyson, in the passenger seat.
'Her eyes were blurred and her speech was a bit slurred. Although she was sitting, it was in a slumped position,' PC Jones said.
He added: 'I could smell alcohol. In my opinion she was drunk.' Prosecutor Sonya Saul asked how drunk, to which PC Jones replied: 'I would say very.'
The car, he added, showed signs of a collision, with the bumper hanging off and pieces of shrubbery attached to its exterior.
PC Jones went on: 'I also noticed what appeared to be sick on the outside of the car.'
Both Price and Mr Boyson said a third person had been driving and that they ran off after the trio had an argument, the court heard.
The officer said Mr Boyson told Price to 'shut up' when she was asked who was driving.
They both said the unnamed person who fled the car had the key, but the car's engine later turned on, he told the court.
Price was arrested in a shoeless state and taken to Plumstead police station for a breathalyser test, having allegedly refused one at the side of the road.
She told officers she had been at a friend's birthday celebration for the evening, during which she was drinking 'pornstar martini' cocktails, the prosecutor said.
Ms Saul concluded: 'The Crown says that Katie Price was clearly in charge of the car while drunk and also had been driving the car before it was stopped while over the limit.'
Price, who lives in Horsham, West Sussex, was met by a mass of photographers as she arrived at the court in a black Mercedes.
Wearing a navy suit jacket, she had numerous coughing fits as the hearing began.
It was alleged Price had 69 microgrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35mcg.
Sonya Saul, prosecuting, said: 'The CCTV shows a pink Range Rover in Pavillion Gardens executing a three point turn. It goes up on the verge and hits a VW Golf.
'It's six minutes just showing that incident there. The manner of the driving may be of relevance to you.'
She added that an email was sent to Price's defence and the court informing them of the new charge of drink driving on February 15.
Paul Macauley, defending, said: 'An email came from the CPS a few days ago - drink driving has been put forward as opposed to while in charge of a vehicle.'

The hearing was briefly put back while she watched the CCTV of the Range Rover hitting the other vehicle before the new charge of drink driving is put to her.
Asking the clerk if her friend could stay in the courtroom while she viewed it, she added: 'But the journalists can leave.'

On January 7, she initially refused to give her address at Bromley Magistrates' Court during an appearance relating to the same incident, but District Judge Nigel Dean ignored her request, and scolded her by saying 'all defendants are treated equally'.
Price, formerly known as Jordan, has tied the knot three times and is now dating Kris Boyson, 29, following the collapse of her most recent marriage to Kieran Hayler.
She also revealed last September her mother Amy Price has been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) - the same disease that killed Keith Chegwin.
The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star was once worth about £45million, but she avoided bankrupcy last December after reaching a deal with creditors.
Over the past year there have been reports that the former model, a keen horse rider, had been trying to sell off her pink horsebox and a number of her animals.
Her £2million mansion, a former home of politician Francis Maude, boasts nine bedrooms, a two bedroom annexe, 12 acres of land, a pool, tennis court and stables.
She bought it for £1.35million in October 2014, but it has since fallen into a state of disrepair, with the grounds strewn with rubbish and the pool full of dirty water.
Price leaves Crawley Magistrates Court on January 9 after receiving a three-month driving ban
Earlier this month Price revealed that she has 'no choice' but to put her 16-year-old disabled son Harvey into care.
Price has said that she can no longer cope with looking after the teenager who has autism and Prader-Willi syndrome now that he is 6ft 2in and 24 stone.
She said that she was inundated with negative comments since revealing her intentions but still intends to put Harvey into residential care part-time.
Comparing him to a 'nightmare newborn', she said that he has smashed the house 'to bits' and wakes up her four other children on a regular basis.
Harvey's father is former footballer Dwight Yorke, who requested a DNA test to prove that Harvey was his son after he was born. He has since been absent from his life.
Price also has two children with ex-husband Peter Andre, son Junior and daughter Princess, and two with her other ex Kieran Hayler, daughter Bunny and son Jett.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
