A letting agent in Hove who police found asleep in his bed after he crashed his Bentley into two parked cars then walked off has been banned from driving for almost two years.
Warren Knight, 50, admitted drink driving and failing to stop after the crash in Goldstone Street on 30 July this year.
When police arrived at the scene, they found his black Bentley, but Knight had nowhere to be seen.
It transpired he had walked back to his house in Hill Drive, half an hour away, and gone to sleep.
He appeared at Brighton and Hove Magistrates Court, where he was fined £2,300 and ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £920 and £85 costs. He was also disqualified from driving for 22 months.
Why are these fines always so low? Fine’s should be x5 -x10 higher to actually discourage this sort of behaviour.
