A man who crashed into several vehicles while driving along the M4 without lights and four times over the legal alcohol limit has been banned from driving for two years.
Kyran George, 23, of Rochemont Walk, Hackney, was arrested on September 30 after police received multiple calls about his dangerous driving between London and Bristol.
At around 8.15pm, George’s BMW 318i collided with three vehicles before striking a Land Rover and spinning off the motorway, coming to rest on the verge.
When officers arrived, George was being checked by paramedics in the back of an ambulance. He failed a roadside breath test and was taken into custody, where tests confirmed he was four times over the drink-drive limit.
He appeared at Swindon Magistrates’ Court on 21 October, where he pleaded guilty to drink driving and was disqualified from driving for two years.
PC Paul Davis, from Wiltshire Police’s Roads Policing Unit, said:
“Drink driving is a serious offence, but driving having consumed four times the legal limit is really disgraceful. Putting other innocent lives at risk is extremely selfish. There is no place for people like George on our roads, and I am pleased he has been given a lengthy driving ban.
George collided with multiple cars and was so lucky that nobody was injured, or worse, killed as a result of his selfish actions.”
In addition to the driving ban, George must also pay a £114 victim surcharge and £85 Crown Prosecution Service costs.
