Dispensary Corner 24 Jun 10
June 24, 2010
WHEN your blood alcohol level
just isn’t enough.
A New Zealand man has faced
court charged with careless and
driving after having overturned his
car with a blood alcohol level
three times the legal limit.
And if failing to take a corner
properly, crashing through a
wooden fence and overturning his
car wasn’t enough to warn the
man that just maybe he had had
enough, he cracked open a fresh
cold one whilst waiting trapped
upside down in his car for rescue.
In court his legal defense
argued that the man indulged in
an icy cold beverage whilst
waiting for the police because he
was trapped and “had nothing
else to do at that point”.
Upon his discovery, subsequent
rescue (with beer in hand) and
police questioning, the man reportedly
told police that he had enjoyed
“plenty” to drink, being that he
was in the midst of a four day bender.
He has subsequently been
disqualified for driving for ten
months and fined NZ$1,100.
