DUI in NC
From the county where driving while under the influence is considered a sport,
comes this true story.
Recently a routine police patrol was parked outside a bar in Kinston, North Carolina. After last call, the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so
apparently intoxicated that he could barely walk.
The man stumbled around the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer
quietly observing. After what seemed an eternity, in which he tried his
keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car and fall
into it. He sat 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 summer night, flicked the blinkers on and off a
couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights. He moved
the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a little, and then remained
still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patrons' vehicles
left.
At last, when his was the only car left in the parking lot, he pulled out
and drove slowly down the road.
The police officer, having waited patiently all this time, now started up
his patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man
over and administered a breathalyzer test.
To his amazement, the breathalyzer indicated no evidence that the man had
consumed any alcohol at all! Dumbfounded, the officer said, 'I'll have to
ask you to accompany me to the police station. This breathalyzer equipment
must be broken.'
'I doubt it,' said the truly proud Redneck. 'Tonight I'm the designated
decoy.'
