Paul Hutton, 40, was pulled over by police as he drove an electric Barbie car, which moves slower than a mobility scooter, near his home in Essex.
Mr Hutton, who has four children Simon, 17, Calum, 14, Laina, 12, and John, 11, admitted being a 'complete twit'.
"Originally it was a pink Barbie car but I put bigger wheels on it but it's not fast....
....Mr Hutton, was found to be twice the drink-drive limit, he said.
Appearing before magistrates last week, he admitted driving the toy car while drunk.
He was given a mandatory three-year ban because he had received another drink-drive ban within the past ten years.

How much damage could the guy do in a Barbie car? You don't lose your license if you are riding a bike drunk, do you? What about walking in the road drunk? "We hereby remove your right to walk!" C'mon!

Welcome to reality.
Yes, you can lose your license if you ride a bike drunk. You can get a DUI on a pedal bike.. it happens all the time.
Also, walking in the road drunk can also get you arrested. That is called "drunk in public".
So.... yeah... if you drink alcohol you are criminal, but it's legal to buy. It's like entrapment.
Don't go to the bar because the second you walk out you are a criminal.
