The Aussie Driving Enthusiast.. ?
Only an Aussie could pull this one off!
From the State where drink driving is considered a sport, comes a true
story from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Recently a routine police patrol parked outside a local neighbourhood
tavern. Late in the evening the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so
intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stumbled around the car
park for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing. After what
seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into.He was there for a few minutes as a number of other patrons left the bar and drove off.
Finally he started the car,switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine
dry night), flicked the indicators on, then off, tooted the horn and
then switched on the lights.
He moved the vehicle forward a few cm, reversed a little and then
remained stationary for a few more minutes as some more vehicles left.
At last he pulled out of the car park and started to drive slowly down
the road.
The police officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started
up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, promptly pulled the man
over and carried out a breathalyser test. To his amazement the
breathalyser indicated no evidence of the man having consumed alcohol at all!
Dumbfounded, the officer said "I'll have to ask you to accompany me to
the Police station this breath-alyser equipment must be broken."
"I doubt it," said the man, "tonight I'm the designated decoy".
True story...

Pretty clever, but too bad others that could have been drinking too much may have gotten away.

Any idiot that would help drunk drivers to get out onto the streets is just as bad as the drunk drivers them selves as far as I'm concerned.
