饮料司机在他自己的梅赛德斯（Mersedes）叫999之后被抓了

工程师从中央高速公路出发时坠毁，他的梅赛德斯意识到了这一事件，并联系了当局提醒他们坠机事故。

检察官莎拉·马尔金森（Sarah Malkinson）在上周在纽卡斯尔地方法院举行的听证会上解释说，警察被要求参加麦克沙恩（McShane）将自己确定为驾驶员的现场。

她继续说：“军官注意到酒精的气味，被告在喃喃自语，因此要求他提供呼吸样本。”

麦克沙恩（McShane）的测试表明，他的血液酒精水平为每100毫升呼吸110微克酒精。法定限制是35个微图的三倍以上。

迈克尔·亨德森（Michael Henderson）代表麦克沙恩（McShane）在听证会上进行缓解，他说，这位37岁的年轻人以前没有定罪，并且是一个“勤奋的人”，“犯了一个重大的错误”。

亨德森说，事件发生之前，由于工程师的短缺，麦克沙恩一直在努力工作，“不记得他上次休息一天”。

"He went to work on Monday morning, he worked throughout the day, it’s the old story of nothing to eat, very little to drink, and the plan of action was to go into town, have a meal, watch the game on television and go home. He drove into town in a company Mercedes vehicle, he wasn’t concerned when he parked because he was going to drive it home," Henderson continued.

“The people he met didn’t want to go for food, so he had a drink, and in the early hours of the morning he knew he had to drive the car to work, he was concerned about leaving it parked there because it wasn’t his vehicle. He made a mistake - ‘15 minutes to drive home to Wallsend’, that’s what he thought, ‘I will get the car’. Obviously his judgment had been affected by the alcohol he had consumed."

亨德森声称，碰撞发生在麦克沙恩（McShane）剪掉路缘并触发汽车中的安全气囊后发生。

亨德森说：“接下来的事情是，安全系统的一部分，说‘我们已经打电话给紧急服务，你还好吗？’他不知道发生了什么……”亨德森说。

麦克沙恩（McShane）对驾驶法律限制表示认罪，并说他为自己的行为感到遗憾，并“学到了艰难的教训”。

该工程师被罚款1,500英镑，并获得了230英镑的其他费用。他被禁止开车25个月，可以选择通过参加酒后驾驶康复课程将禁令减少25周。
