Mr Magoo! as well as drunk.
Ahmed “paddy” Mohamed Kahn o’Brien was his namo!
This is dangerous driving and reckless indeed – he should be jailed.
Idiot driver should be banned from driving for a considerable amount of time as well as face prison. No excuse for that whatsoever, fed up with selfish, ignorant and arrogant drivers on our roads.
I’m in the rammer now boy
Bailed. That's why we're broken
Never seen anyone as drunk as that.Looks like he was aiming for the cars.
Islam again

Will most likely get a slap on the wrist and not much more and why were so many cars parked on the pavement?

Tyson fury on his window cleaning round
That looks deliberate.
There should be a total ban on alcohol whilst driving. Ive been hit by one. Its a nightmare.
Never trust a tesla pikey truck
He was not drunk he had a seizure
More like a tipsy truck than a tipper truck
Its lucky he was traveling under the speed limit, or that could've been fatal for innocent 3rd parties.
Wtf
Drunk on non-alcoholic shandy again? 😃
Back tarmacking some fools drive the very next day…
Congratulations to all the commenters who managed to post something bigoted.
That is likely the most you'd will ever achieve.
He's probably already back out on the road
