Drunk Driver’s Sky-High Fall | UK News

Description

Alistair Thompson, 34, got behind the wheel drunk in Aberdeen—more than double the legal limit—and nearly caused a catastrophe when his Land Rover flew through the air, narrowly missing another car before crashing into a lamppost. His girlfriend survived with injuries. Facing court, his lawyer admitted his behavior was reckless and he’s remorseful, though he’s been sober since. The judge slammed him for arrogance, citing a prior DUI conviction, and sentenced him to 300 hours of community service and a 40-month driving ban—over three years—plus mandatory retesting to drive again. A sobering reminder: one bad decision behind the wheel can endanger lives—and cost you dearly.
