Just missing the two individuals standing behind the patrol car! That was indeed a close call.

“I watched on TV3’s 999. They say that even if the driver has low blood alcohol content, it is still dangerous for them to drive.”

According to reports, the driver is currently under the purview of the police to aid in investigations and will be investigated under Section 42 (1) of the Road Transport Act for dangerous and reckless driving which could bring a maximum jail term of five years and fine.

Time and time again we have seen a repeat of such incidences, it is time that we exercise a little more responsibility when it comes to drinking and driving.
