Keith Evans was more than twice the drink-drive limit when he thrashed along the A5 in Shrewsbury, hitting another vehicle and charging straight through roundabouts without stopping, before his car ended up on its side, half-way down an embankment.
This was the fourth time Evans, aged 59, had been caught driving under the influence of booze.
But despite that and the horrific injury suffered by his partner, he avoided jail.
This dash-cam footage from another driver, who was in a Toyota Rav 4, was played to Shrewsbury Crown Court when Evans was sentenced.
It shows Evans' Jaguar XF clip, the Toyota on the approach to the Woodcote roundabout near Bowbrook, Shrewsbury.
It then shows Evans mount the kerb and force his way past vehicles approaching the Edgebold roundabout and not stopping before the island, before his car ends up in a ditch before he could reach Dobbies roundabout.
What the footage doesn't show, which was heard in court, is the driver of the Toyota yell out in shock as her vehicle is hit by Evans, before repeating his number plate out loud several times and phoning the police as she followed him.
The incident took place on March 6, 2022.
