WATCH: Drunk driver banned after repeatedly reversing into car
Donatas Sileikis has been disqualified from driving for four years.
A man who repeatedly reversed into a car while drunk has been banned from driving for four years.
Donatas Sileikis, 36, was reported to police after striking the car in Mountsteven Avenue in Walton, Peterborough, on October 19.
He was charged with drink driving after he blew 114 in custody – more than three times the legal limit – as well as driving without insurance and driving without a licence.
Sileikis, of Burmer Road, New England was handed a four year driving disqualification at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court last Friday (November 8) after admitting the offences.
He was also sentenced to ten weeks in prison, suspended for 18 months, and told to pay a £500 fine.
PC Sam Shepherd, who investigated, said: “Drink driving can have extreme consequences and Sileikis was lucky to have avoided causing significant damage to the cars involved.”
The force operates a dedicated, confidential hotline – 0800 032 0845 – which is available 24/7 and allows the reporting of anyone believed to be driving under the influence.
