A teenager was handed a two-year ban from driving after he crashed his vehicle into an outlet of a fast-food restaurant in the United Kingdom.
A report by UK-based media outlet Sky News reported the incident took place in West Sussex county of South East England.
A representative of the Sussex Police stated that the 19-year-old Taylor Steel, who hails from Ashington town, took the meaning of restaurant “drive-through” facility too literally.

Taylor Steel’s alcohol consumption was three times higher than the drink-driving limit, which prompted the car crash. He went into police custody after failing a breath test.
The man admitted to drinking beer at a pub before he drove his car. However, he claimed that he was unaware of the reason for his driving or his destination.
Earlier, a video of a vehicle crashing into a restaurant in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh went viral.
