🚨 Wow, what a wild story from the M4! A driver turned a routine evening into chaos when he stole his partner’s VW Golf and took it for a dangerous spin. Rory Butler, 37, was almost four times over the drink-drive limit when he crashed into the M4’s central reservation.🛑
After having an evening out, Rory’s night escalated following an argument at home. When his partner wasn’t looking, he snatched her car, hitting the road in a reckless bid before hitting the cones in a contraflow system and eventually crashing the car. 🚗💥
Responding to multiple calls from concerned drivers, the police were on the scene. Upon questioning, Butler bizarrely claimed he was “12 years old.” He failed breathalyser tests twice—scoring way over the legal limit. 📏🍺
This shocking episode, with its mix of poor decision-making and intoxication, landed Butler in hot water. He pleaded guilty to several charges including dangerous driving and driving without a licence. The court heard how all his offences were fuelled by alcohol and personal struggles. 😞
Judge Paul Hobson highlighted the grave danger posed by Butler’s actions, noting he could have easily caused fatalities. As a result, Rory Butler received a 14-month jail sentence and a four-month driving ban upon his release. 🚔
