A drink-driver has been banned after his dangerous driving was captured on his very own dashcam.

The footage shows David Leary, 56, knocking down a street sign, mounting kerbs, veering onto the wrong side of the road and colliding with a parked car, while driving at more than three times the legal limit on August 12.

A member of the public, who saw the offender's car strike a signpost in the Gloucester Road area of Bristol, called the police and followed him back to his house.

Officers arrived just minutes after the offender arrived back home and promptly arrested Leary for drink driving.

Leary, from Patchway, South Gloucestershire, pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drink at Bristol Magistrates' Court earlier this month after his dashcam footage was obtained by authorities.

He was sentenced to a 12-week suspended prison sentence, disqualified from driving for 30 months, fined £576 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a victim surcharge of £128.
