 A few weeks ago, cops at Rotherham in the United Kingdom identified a drunk driver after they pulled him over for driving with only three tyres. After pulling the driver over the cops identified his as being 'Incredibly Drunk' and he was later arrested, but in addition to drunk driving, he was arrested for much more. In the tweet they later posted, they revealed that the driver was not only arrested for driving drunk but also for driving with an expired licence and not having valid insurance. On top of that, he was apprehended for not showing up to court twice. The South Yorkshire Police have advised people to refrain from drinking and getting behind the wheel.
