This man was #driving way too fast on the #m1 #motorway in #Buckinghamshire - he clouted armco of the central reservation and busted front wheel/driveshaft - and carried on driving to a petrol station!

It seems he did not call 999 himself as he was committing a #DUI offence at the time - but was tracked down via #CCTV and brought before Crown #Court - he pleaded guilty and got 22 months in #jail due to the risk caused to other road users (he will likely serve about 8 months of that inside)
