#Whisky galore - but #driving a #lorry on #A14 is not the place for it!
This #driver was put before #Court within just a few days and banned from the roads (he only got suspended sentence, its not usual to get prison time for any #motoring offence unless there's been a serious crash with injuries/fatalities)
Whats more worrying is he clearly isn't driving a wagon up and down the highway for fun - someone employed him to transport something, and isn't vetting their #drivers correctly.
He should be in rehab and nowhere near a vehicle (especially not the same roads I have to drive on, and I've already seen quite a bit of sketchy stuff in #Cambridgeshire )
