this guy is a idiot
By JOHN COLES
A DRIVER was banned from the roads yesterday — for filling his brake pipes with COOKING OIL.
Tight-fisted David Williams, 25, already had a conviction for using a rolled-up CARPET as a bumper on his rust-bucket Rover.
Horrified cops who stopped him for having a broken tail light also found he had no brakes, a bald tyre, no rear-view mirror and two broken door handles, Swansea Crown Court heard.
The jobless chef said he slowed down using his gears and handbrake.
Tests on the 30-year-old motor showed the brake fluid reservoir was full of gloopy vegetable oil.
Williams, of Borth, Mid Wales, was given a six-month suspended jail sentence after he admitted dangerous driving. He was banned for a year and ordered to re-take his driving test.
Judge Nicholas Jones ordered the “death-trap” car be confiscated.
Williams’ lawyer Craig Jones said his “immature” client would be getting the bus in future.
