Guess he was driving at some point, but not at time of collision.

This line?

He wasn’t in the car when it crashed. He’d gotten out earlier.

Whilst investigating the entire incident they uncovered garage forecourt footage of someone else driving the car into the garage but he got into the car afterwards and drove it away.

So they have evidence of him driving when legally he shouldn't be.

What a dick

Magistrates were told four videos from Loughlin's mobile phone were discovered indicating he was inhaling something from a balloon.
At times he had one hand or no hands on the steering wheel as he was travelling along the M4 at speeds between 80 (123km) and 90 miles (145km) an hour.
The court was told mobile phone videos showed the fuel low warning gauge and the seatbelt signs were both illuminated.
At 22:18 GMT, the court was told videos showed there was loud music playing and the car crossing the white line in the middle of the road.
