A Swansea motorist who reversed his car down a busy road before crashing has laid the blame on his satnav for directing him the wrong way to work.

It was his second day at a new job and he told police that he was running late.

31 year old James Hope crashed into barriers, seriously damaging his Mercedes, after he snaked down the busy stretch of road in reverse for 120 metres.

It was reported that he had already been banned from driving twice this year and apparently is now on a warning from his fiancee that the wedding will not happen if this behaviour continued.

Hope said that he had taken drugs the previous night then took prescribed medication when he woke up.

The Judge, who jailed him for six months and banned him from driving for three-and-a-half years, commented: "You're intelligent. You know the rules and you chose to flagrantly abuse them and not only drove but did so while you were not in a fit state to drive."
