1. A driver caught behind the wheel when drunk claims he could have been sent over the limit by the steak and ale pie that he had just eaten
He was found to be over twice the permitted limit! I want the address of the shop where he bought the pie!2. A west Yorkshire man who claimed his dead wife was driving when he was repeatedly caught speeding was sentenced to 6 months. He was caught speeding 4 times in eight months and forged his dead wife's signature to dodge the points. Spooky....no just bloody stupid.
3. A midwife was banned from the road for 3 years after she was caught drink driving near Plymouth she had in her vehicle a bottle of gin, tonic water and slices of lemon
Ah but did she have the correct type of glass I wonder.4. Police pulled over a pensioner on suspicion of metal theft to discover that he had been driving without a licence for 50 years. The 72 year old told police that he's never taken a test! He was issued with his first licence - great - then fined £115 - not so good -then given 6 points - bugger.
5. And finally a 67 year old fella was banned from using his mobility scooter for 12 months and fined £100 after admitting drink driving on a pavement at 6mph. When pulled over (I wonder if the blues 'n twos were going) a friend of this one legged man was balancing on the front of the mobility scooter - he was also charged with a public order offence.
I just don't believe it
