A British man banned from driving for four years for driving a battery-powered Barbie toy car while drunk admitted he had acted like “a twit.” Paul Hutton, 40, said he found the toy car, designed for 3-to-5-year-olds, abandoned about a year ago. He worked on it at his Jaywick, England, home for about a year with his 17-year-old son. Hutton said he had been drinking while working on the toy and decided to take it for a spin. “The police pulled up and asked if I was all right,” Hutton said. He told them he had a few drinks but felt fine. Hutton was sentenced to a 12-month conditional discharge. His driver’s license was also suspended for three years. The Barbie car runs on a 12-volt battery and has a top speed of about 4 mph.
