Life wasn’t too peachy for one reckless driver, when he had his driving licence revoked for performing a dangerous U-turn on a busy road in south China; all so he could pick peaches.

The driver was caught by CCTV in the Guizhou Province of reversing the wrong way down the busy a-road, before turning his car across fast-moving traffic and parking on the road’s hard shoulder.

After a short chase, police were eventually able to catch the driver, who told officers that he had done nothing wrong.

The driver was handed a heavy fine for dangerous driving and had his driving licence taken.
