Drunk Driver's Reckless Stunt, 29-Week Jail Term

0:00On April 25th, a 42-year-old man named Tamalolu Oyaniku got busted driving drunk on the M25 after falling asleep at the wheel of his. Mercedes copped spot at his car, stopped dead and lane 2 on a slip road at junction 30, engine running, brake lights on, even with green lights ahead. He was already disqualified from driving and way over the alcohol limit. Officers pulled up and found him slumped over the steering wheel, head down. As soon as they opened the door, the stench of booze hit them hard. His roadside breath test clocked him at 3.5 times the legal limit, so they slapped cuffs on him right there. Drivers had to swerve wildly to dodge his parked ride. Dodging what could have been a nasty pile-up. This dude's repeat-offence. He just got disqualified four days earlier on April 17th for another drunk driving conviction, with a suspended 12-week jail term hanging over him. Cops warn that booze like that wrecks your judgment and reaction time, turning roads into death traps.

1:01Fast forward to calms for magistrates court on Tuesday, April 21st. Oyaniku copped pleas to drink driving, driving while banned and no insurance. Judges through the book, 29 weeks behind bars, and a 64-month driving ban. Road saved these no-joke folks, one bad decision ripples out to endanger everyone. They sober behind the wheel or pay the price like this guy.
