Jane Evans, 36, “wanted to make a good impression” in her new job. She drank two cans of strong beer to calm her nerves, a court heard.
But she later got behind the wheel to drive two colleagues home, and crashed after speeding at 80mph in a 30mph zone.
One of her passengers has been left in a wheelchair as a result, the court was told.
Evans also assaulted an emergency worker after the crash in November last year.
Cardiff Crown Court heard that the two passengers had begged Evans to slow down before the smash, but Evans told them to “shut up”.

She then lost control of the Mini Cooper and hit a fence and then a tree.
Prosecutor Jason Howells said Evans then slapped a doctor
