Elizabeth Hurley’s nephew was caught drink driving in his BMW after tailgating cars in south London, a court reportedly heard.
Model Miles Hurley, 27, was seen accelerating and then slowing down in a 20mph zone and pleaded guilty to driving a BMW Gran Coupe SE with excess alcohol in Lambeth on April 14, at Croydon Magistrates’ Court. He allegedly had 45 micrograms of alcohol in his breath when the legal limit was 35.
The son of Elizabeth Hurley’s older sister Kate Curren has modelled for Dolce & Gabbana in the past and was pictured with his cousin Damian Hurley at the DG Logo Bag Cocktail party launch. It is understood that Miles Hurley had been playing a football game and had “some drinks” as well as a meal on the day he was stopped for drink driving.

A social media post by Elizabeth Hurley with her nephew Miles (Internet Unknown)"It was around midnight when officers' attention was too drawn to a vehicle because the car was speeding up and slowing down and was very close to other vehicles," said Prosecutor Sophie Thompson, reported the Daily Mail. "The driver was pulled over and alcohol was smelled on the breath of this defendant and he failed a roadside breath test for alcohol and was arrested and taken into custody. An aggravating factor is that there was an unacceptable standard of driving in that he was speeding and tailgating other vehicles. The officers said he was driving at an excess speed." Hurley denied that he was tailgating other vehicles.
His defence lawyer Mark Haslam argued that Hurley had not been driving at a “vastly excessive speed” and admits that he should not have been behind the wheel but was “fully cooperative” with police. He reportedly said: "He did not drink for a while and then took the decision to go home, which he accepts was a misjudged decision to drive, although it was a relatively short journey." Hurley was fined £750, with £85 costs, ordered to pay a £300 victim surcharge and disqualified from driving for 12 months.

In 2018, Hurley lost four pints of blood after being stabbed during an altercation with a group of men. He and another 21-year-old man were left with non-life-threatening injuries when the men allegedly got out of a vehicle, assaulted them and fled in the Nine Elms area of south-west London. Elizabeth Hurley had been in New York at the time of the attack on March 8, 2018, but rushed back to be by her nephew's side in hospital. "Thanking God today that my nephew Miles is with us for Easter today," she wrote on social media at the time.
