Watch: Drink-driver caught doing donuts in snow in Peterborough

A repeat drink-driver who was caught doing donuts in the snow at a Peterborough car park has been jailed.

Mihal Taclit, 39, was more than twice the drink-drive limit when he was arrested at Pleasure Fair Meadow car park. He had a front-seat passenger and a second in the cargo area of the van where there were no seats or restraints.

Taclit pleaded guilty to drink-driving, driving without a licence and insurance, dangerous driving and carrying passengers in a manner likely to cause injury.

He was sentenced to 36 weeks in prison and was disqualified from driving for five years at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court.

PC Sam Shepherd, of Cambridgeshire Police, said: “Not only was Taclit’s manner of driving incredibly dangerous, but he also chose to get behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol – an offence he has committed before and has clearly not learnt his lesson.”
