- Published
A serial drink and drug driver has been banned from the roads after crashing his BMW into a neighbour's parked car while over the limit.
Timothy Jason Starkie, 33, crashed into the parked Hyundai on Tang Hall Lane in York in the early hours of 5 January.
When tested, he was above the drink-drive limit and also had cocaine and cannabis in his system, North Yorkshire Police said.
He had admitted two charges of drug driving and one of being above the limit for alcohol at an earlier hearing and was banned from the roads for 40 months at York Magistrates ' Court on Thursday.
Starkie was also given a year-long community order, ordered to complete 150 days of unpaid work and 20 days of rehabilitation. He was also ordered to pay £114 victim surcharge and £85 court costs.
North Yorkshire Police said this was Starkie's third conviction of driving under the influence of drink and drugs.
Traffic Constable Joseph Schramm said: "The defendant clearly has no regard for other road users."
