1 Car, 1 Night, 3 Drivers, 3 DUIS
ABC News (AU) brings us a story of a busy night. It starts out like many DUI stops:
Just after 4am police stopped the vehicle and say a 25-year-old man was arrested for high-range drink-driving and a range of other driving offences.
Often, passengers riding with drunk drivers are drunk, too (why else would they let a drunk person drive?). Occasionally, they’re dumb enough to try to drive away from the DUI arrest:
Within 10 minutes, police stopped the vehicle again and charged a 31-year-old woman after she was over the alcohol limit.
That’s clearly a bad idea. But then:
Again within a ten minute period, police found the car back on the road and a 30-year-old man was charged with drink-driving and providing a false name.
The 3 arrests account for more than a quarter of the DUI arrests in that city for the night. If your driver gets arrested, and you’ve been drinking, do the sensible thing and call a cab.
