U.K. Man Busted For DUI During His Driving Test
A U.K. man was recently busted for DUI which isn't always headline news. However, it happened to him while he was taking his driving test! Now, that is news worth reporting on!
DUIs happen all the time. It would be great if we didn't drink and drive but it continues to happen and people continue to get in trouble for it. It happens so often that it really isn't newsworthy at this point. However, if it happens during a driving test that's going to get our attention. That person should not pass their driving test and probably should not have a license! If you're going to show up to your test like that then driving might not be for you.
U.K. Man Busted For DUI During His Driving Test
According to AOL, the driver was stopped in the middle of their driving was and arrested for drug-driving. Sounds like the vehicle was stopped after a defective brake light was noticed by Merseyside Police and noticed their poor driving as well.
AOL reports that the officers speaking to the driver could smell cannabis so they conducted a drugs wipe test which he failed. The driving test was then terminated and the 26-year-old driver was found to be in possession of cannabis.
Merseyside's roads policing inspector Simon Wilson tells AOL, "Officers rightly pulled over the car after noticing that a brake light wasn't working, which is dangerous not only for the occupants of the vehicle but also other road users. After speaking to the driver, it was clear that there was much more for officers to be concerned with and he was arrested on suspicion of drug driving. Although some people may find the humour in the fact someone on a driving test was arrested, drug driving is no laughing matter. It is incredibly dangerous and selfish to get behind the wheel of a vehicle under the influence of drugs and it's an offence we take seriously at Merseyside Police."
