I once thought that drink driving had all but died out, as drinking and then getting in a car was such a serious social no no ....

Officers
tweeted pictures of the white Vauxhall Astra after they pulled it over
on Saturday (7/8/2021) morning. Sergeant Rob Powell tweeted: “The driver of
this vehicle was arrested for a number of offences including drink
driving. He was observed driving along the M6 through Staffordshire with
only three wheels."
He later tweeted “One of our unmarked
vehicles has footage of the car driving in excess of 60mph with only
three wheels. CMPG will publish the in car footage once court
proceedings have been finalised.”
Social media users were quick to comment on how drunk the man must have been ... one Twitter user posted: “How drunk do you need to be before you fail to notice a wheel missing?”
However, lets be honest a, lot of this is fuelled not just by alcohol but also by drug taking (which often makes people feel like they are invulnerable) .... there is now a trend for people to fuel themselves with both alcohol and drugs such as cocaine .... its probably a surprise that we don't see more of this sort of thing on our streets.
The penalties for seriously dangerous dangerous driving just aren't harsh enough, especially when driven by drink or drugs.
