Young driver blames officer for drunken crash

If you ever fancied maxing-out your young driver car insurance premium, look no further for inspiration than a serial drink driver who was arrested recently in North Yorkshire.

Running into a parked vehicle would have been enough for most people, but this particular young man was not content to come along quietly once police had made their arrest.

Instead, he told officers that he regularly drove whilst under the influence, and blamed the aforementioned crash on poor policing.

Calderdale Magistrates' Court heard that the defendant had said: "I blame you for not catching me earlier," and "I'm always drinking and driving."

"Penalty points for his licence and sky-high car insurance premiums seem like the least he can expect when sentence is passed," said Mike Page, spokesman for the young driver car insurance champions at Hoot.
