A motorist who drove into flood waters while over the legal alcohol limit has been sentenced.
James Doyle misjudged the road in North Bersted Street, Bognor, forcing officers to wade in to the water to reach him.
Later, members of the public kindly offered the officers kayaks so they could complete their checks on the car.
Doyle, 57, of Fir Tree Way, Bognor, admitted drink-driving after he was found to be more than three times the legal alcohol limit.
Driving while intoxicated is one of the main reasons why people are killed or seriously injured on our roads.
Doyle appeared before Worthing Magistrates’ Court on 12 December 2023 and admitted driving while over the legal alcohol limit.
The court heard that police were called at 9.30am on 15 November 2023 to his car stuck in flood waters.
