The authorised driver of the vehicle was unaware that asbestos worker Stephen Keen, 32, had taken the vehicle from a hotel car park on Hallowe’en and crashed it into the back of another van in Rawcliffe, said Gabrielle Wilks, prosecuting.
Keen drove off from the scene of the collision, but the other van driver followed him until Keen stopped. Police were called and arrested the 32-year-old.
The drink driver had previous similar convictions, said the prosecution barrister at York Crown Court.
