DRUNK IN CHARGE OF A WHEELCHAIR!
A man found asleep in his motorized wheelchair on a northern Australian highway has been charged with drunk driving.
The man was spotted by police officers on Friday morning as they passed by the exit lane near the city of Cairns. Other motorists swerved to get around the man, who was slumped in the stationary chair right on the exit lane.
When breath tested, the 64 year registered a blood alcohol reading of over six times the legal limit and he was charged with operating a vehicle while drunk. He has been ordered to report to court on July 7.
Apparently, the man was making the nine-mile trip to from his home to his friend's house. He faces a stiff penalty - and to get over it he will, of course, need a stiff drink.
