An Ammanford drink-driver has been described by a Crown Court judge as ‘selfish and dangerous’ after downing spirits and beer before driving down the M4.

In a shocking video shown in court Steven Rees attempted to overtake someone on the slipway of the M4 clipped the car and flipped his van, which ended up on the A48.

The appalling footage shows a couple calmly driving along the motorway and taking the exit before being Rees comes out of nowhere, clips the front of their car and flies across the road.

Steven Rees had spent the evening of March 26 drinking with friends in Neath before getting into his van, accompanied by a female passenger, and driving westbound.

But at the Penllergaer junction he rammed into the rear of a Ford Fiesta, drove past it on the driver’s side smashing off the wing mirror before cutting sharply in front and flipping onto two wheels.

Rees then shot across the slip road, left the carriageway and careered into the A48.

His van eventually landed on its side on the duel carriageway, directly in the path of an approaching car.

Rees was sentenced to a total of 10 months in prison suspended for 18 months and was ordered to complete a rehabilitation course and a thinking skills programme.

He must also do 180 hours of unpaid work in the community and pay £420 in prosecution costs.
