Intoxicated Peter Tuck was weaving across three lanes
A drunken trucker driving dangerously on the M8 later smashed into an entrance barrier at a Tesco distribution centre, causing £3,000 damage to his lorry.
But when he reached Tesco’s Distribution Centre in Livingston, West Lothian, he drove straight through the entrance barrier, wrecking the gates and damaging the cab of his lorry. “Asked who the driver was he replied: ‘It was me’ and asked when the last time he had consumed alcohol was he said it had been approximately 45 minutes prior.”
Tuck pleaded guilty on Friday to driving dangerously while intoxicated through alcohol or drugs, assault the police and failing to provide two specimens of breath for analysis during the incident on 9 April last year . Since that traumatic event, he said, Tuck had continued to struggle with alcohol but had been teetotal since February 20 this year after engaging with a support group.
