Driving instructor four times over limit was on his way to collect pupil for lesson
Timothy Howells, 54, was arrested after his car was found in a roadside ditch on the A484 between Pembrey and Kidwelly at around 7.38am on Friday, 20 February.
Officers who attended the single-vehicle collision reported that Howells appeared heavily intoxicated and an initial roadside breath test reading showed 110 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath.
He was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and taken into custody, where a second evidential breath test reading showed 132 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath — four times over the legal limit of 35 micrograms.
In interview, Howells admitted that when he was arrested by officers, he was on his way to collect a pupil for a driving lesson.
Howells appeared at Llanelli Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 24 February, where he was sentenced to eight weeks in custody, suspended for 18 months.
Chief Inspector Christina Fraser from Dyfed-Powys Police said the case was an excellent example of teamwork by officers in removing a heavily intoxicated man in a position of great trust and responsibility from the road.
“Excellent example of teamwork by our officers in removing a heavily intoxicated man in a position of great trust and responsibility off the road; safeguarding both his driving school pupil and other drivers from a very high risk of serious harm,” Chief Inspector Fraser said.
The legal drink-drive limit in England and Wales is 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath. Howells’ reading of 132 was nearly four times this limit.
Driving instructors are required to hold an Approved Driving Instructor (ADI) licence from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which can be revoked if the holder is convicted of certain offences including drink driving.

Newcastle Emlyn man jailed after Cardigan police chase crash left teens badly hurt
A young driver from Newcastle Emlyn, Carmarthenshire, has been sentenced to three years in a young offenders’ institution after a late‑night police pursuit in Cardigan, Ceredigion, ended in a devastating crash.
Zac Thomas, now 19, was 18 at the time of the incident on 21 September 2024. He had been drinking vodka before getting behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Polo with four teenage passengers.
Police pursuit through Cardigan
Officers on patrol in Cardigan saw the Polo swerving across the road and signalled for it to stop. Instead, Thomas accelerated away, ignoring pleas from his passengers to slow down. He drove at speed along a single‑track lane before leaving the road and ploughing into a field, where the car collided with an earth bank and hedge.
The impact was catastrophic. One passenger was thrown forward with his head smashing through the windscreen, suffering life‑changing injuries including fractured vertebrae, facial trauma and long‑term speech and memory problems. Another passenger sustained a severe leg fracture requiring surgery and skin grafts, while a third needed 23 stitches to a deep head wound. A fourth passenger jumped from the moving car and was found disorientated in the field.
Arrest and charges
Thomas was arrested at the scene after officers smelled alcohol on his breath. A blood test showed he was almost twice the legal drink‑drive limit. He later pleaded guilty to three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and to driving with excess alcohol.
At Swansea Crown Court, Judge Catherine Richards told him his use of the car had been “akin to using a deadly weapon” and that his actions had caused “devastation” to his passengers’ lives.
Sentence
Thomas was sentenced to three years’ detention in a young offenders’ institution and disqualified from driving for five years and three months. He will serve up to half of his sentence in custody before being released on licence.
The case was referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct, which found Dyfed‑Powys Police officers had acted proportionately and in line with policy.

It's amazing how often Liberal pols & staffers avoid #drinkdriving convictions
In particular, Timmy was proper shitfaced at 0.131% BAC, more than twice the 0.05% limit, had a property damage collision, crossed a footpath and an oncoming traffic lane. This event had a high potential for personal injury to himself and members of the public, but all he got was a fine and a 1 year driving suspension.

Latvia confiscated hundreds of cars from drunk drivers: The first are now on their way to Ukraine.
The first eight cars are heading to Ukraine this week. The former owners were all caught with blood alcohol levels above 0.15%.
Cars confiscated by state authorities are usually sold, recycled or disassembled for spare parts but Latvian authorities thought that these vehicles could be used to help Ukrainians.

Interesting video - attitudes to impending then-new drink-driving laws in the 1960s, from patrons of a “typical motorists’ pub” who would habitually drive after drinking. At the time, alcohol contributed to more than 13,000 fatal or serious “accidents” in a year on the roads. It’s interesting how familiar today some of these arguments against the law still are e.g., with phone driving laws, speeding etc.
