Steven Luck had just appeared in court and disqualified from driving before driving home from court
A man who appeared in court and recieved a disqualification drove home from court as he didn’t think it started straight away.
He has now been jailed and fined.
In a post made, Durham Police said,
“The driver of this Range Rover was involved in a collision in May which he failed to stop for.
When he was tracked down shortly afterwards, Steven Luck, of Middlehope Way, Darlington, was found to be nearly THREE TIMES the drink drive limit.
He appeared at court yesterday and was disqualified from driving for 28 months and handed fines totalling over £2,500.
Upon leaving the court, Luck decided the best way to get home would be… by driving.
He was reported getting into his car outside of court, so Special Constable Howells travelled on blue lights to locate him entering the Darlington area.
In light of his new driving ban, Luck was graciously offered a lift (to Darlington Police Station).
Within 30 minutes of leaving court, he was back in police custody and put before another court today, where he was given a further 12-month driving disqualification and an 8-week prison sentence.
That’s what happens when you push your Luck.
