David Kamahl Bain, 45, previously of Ryan Court, pleaded guilty in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court to failing to give his name and address after an accident, drink-driving, careless driving, exceeding 60km/h and two counts of driving while disqualified.

He was convicted and sentenced to two weeks in jail. He was also banned from getting a driver’s licence for a further 18 months.

Police said Bain was driving east on Donovans Road on October 28 last year when he lost control and crashed into a fence near the intersection with Mortlake Road. 

Bain had a brief conversation with the property owner and said “I’ll be back”, but did not return. When he handed himself into police a short time later he recorded a blood- alcohol reading of .064. 

Bain told police he had consumed two shots of whiskey, a stubbie of beer and a glass of white wine after the accident.
