In his defence, Williams’ solicitor Michael Kelleher said that the defendant had been staying on a caravan site. He had driven off the site and had decided to move back onto the site.

“He has not been driving recklessly around,” Mr Kelleher said.

Williams, 37, of Waunceirch in Neath Port Talbot, pleaded guilty to a charge of drink driving and was disqualified for 17 months.

He was fined £120, ordered to pay £48 in court costs and a further £85 in prosecution costs.
