Young Staffs driver collapses from drink after abandoning his car
A Staffordshire man has been given a 12 month community order and banned from driving for four years after he was picked up for drink driving on October 8 2006. And 29-year-old Nigel Moss, who registered four times the legal limit when he was breathalysed at the scene, will face a substantial mark-up on his young driver car insurance premium once the four year ban is up. Moss's problems began when his Peugeot 405 ploughed into the back of a taxi that was waiting to pull out of a junction. Choosing to flee the scene rather than exchange motor insurance details, he took off down the adjoining road, crashed several more times into "various objects" in his path and stopped. Abandoning the car, Moss then tried a getaway on foot - with little more success. As the Burton Magistrates' Court prosecutor put it: "The defendant stopped his vehicle then ran away, before falling into a heap on the floor." Moss admitted offences of drink driving, careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. He was already paying a high rate for young driver car insurance after a previous drink driving conviction in 1999.
