A raving driver who parked his car on a roundabout before dancing in front of police officers has been banned from the roads.

Arkan Al-Asad, of Bower Place in Maidstone, was seen driving as slowly as slow as 5mph on a busy dual carriageway before he stopped his car on a roundabout in Worthing.

When police confronted the 41-year-old loud music was blaring out from his Renault Megane while he was outside waving his arms in the air. The car’s engine was still running and he told officers he was on the way to Stonehenge.

Footage recorded by the officers’ bodyworn cameras shows the 41-year-old with slurred speech, glazed eyes and seemingly struggling to answer questions.

He told officers he had been driving for two hours and was trying to make his way to Stonehenge but was lost.

Believing the defendant to be on drugs, officers arrested him but after being taken into custody he refused to let officers take a sample of blood to be analysed.

Al-Asad pleaded guilty to pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen for analysis and driving without a licence when he appeared at Worthing Magistrates’ Court on June 5.

He was banned from driving for 18 months, fined £165 and ordered to pay £620 costs and a £20 victim surcharge.

The actual offence took place at 2.15am on June 22 last year.

Chief Inspector Phil Nicholas said: “Anyone who watches the footage should be able to see that Al-Asad was in no fit state to drive.

“His driving had been erratic before he stopped and he could have easily caused an accident.

“The fact that he refused to give us a sample that would have proven one way or another whether he was on drugs also did not save him from a driving ban as the magistrates took a very dim view of his behaviour.

“Thankfully members of the public saw Al-Asad before he caused an accident and I would urge anyone else who sees someone driving dangerously to call us on 999 as soon as they can so that we can take action.”
