Aaron Burrow-Buck, 19, of Lowery Road, Crossley, will face court today charged with driving at a speed dangerous, drink-driving and failing to appear before court.

Burrow-Buck was arrested on Tuesday after failing to appear in court on two previous occasions to face the driving offences committed in March.

He pleaded guilty in Warrnambool Magistrates Court yesterday and is expected to be sentenced today.

The court heard Burrow-Buck was driving north along the Terang-Mortlake Road just after 5pm on March 27, 2010, when police officers in an unmarked car recorded him exceeding the speed limit by 91km/h.

The car was intercepted and Burrow-Buck recorded a blood-alcohol reading of 0.09.

Burrow-Buck, who was 18 at the time of the offence, said that afternoon he had been drinking in Panmure with his 17-year-old brother and a 14-year-old female friend, who were passengers in his car.

After receiving an urgent phone call from his other younger brother, Burrow-Buck made the decision to drive.

Burrow-Buck said had consumed about five or six full-strength stubbies when his 16-year-old brother called, distressed after finding out his girlfriend was pregnant, and said he needed help.

In February Burrow-Buck had been caught by police with a blood alcohol level of less than 0.05, which exceeded the zero blood alcohol level required on his P-plate licence, and is yet to receive a penalty for that offence.

Burrow-Buck failed to appear in court on June 28 for the March driving offences and was later arrested and bailed to appear on August 9 when he again did not attend court.

The teenager said he had simply forgot when he was supposed to front court and, though not offered as an excuse, said his ADHD caused him to be easily distracted, confused and forget details.

Burrow-Buck was arrested on Tuesday and remanded in custody before his appearance in court yesterday, and remained in custody last night before sentencing today.
