License revoked for drunk Barbie car drive

JAYWICK, England, April 20 (UPI) -- A British man banned from driving for four years for drunkenly driving a battery-powered Barbie toy car admitted he had acted like "a twit."

Paul Hutton, 40, said he found the toy car, designed for 3-to-5-year-olds, abandoned about a year ago and he has been working on it at his Jaywick, England, home for about a year with his 17-year-old son, the Colchester Gazette reported.

Hutton said he had been drinking while working on the toy the day of his arrest and decided to take it for a spin.

"The police pulled up and asked if I was all right," Hutton said. "I'd had a few drinks but I felt fine. I hadn't spoken to anyone all day -- then I found out I couldn't talk.

"I was very surprised to get done for drink-driving, but I was a twit to say the least," he said.

Hutton was sentenced to a 12-month conditional discharge. His driver's license was suspended for three years.
