NEW baby celebrations turned sour when a "pissed as a fart" banker crashed into a police car.

Mark Davies, aged 36, was just under three times the legal alcohol limit when he crashed his red Fiat Brava into the back of the police car on Sevenoaks Road at the junc- tion with Charmwood Lane, Orpington.

He gave a breath test reading of 101, the limit being 35.

Davies told Bromley magistrates he did not remember getting back into his car after the celebrations.

But he thinks he was fiddling with his radio when the crash occurred, shortly after midnight on Christmas Eve.

The court heard Davies told the arresting officers at the scene: "Okay, you got me, I'm pissed. I'm pissed as a fart."

Davies, of Churchill Court, Gladstone Road, Farnborough, has a clean driving licence and no previous convictions.

He pleaded guilty to drink-driving and will be sentenced on January 19.
