Only in Queensland "From the State where drink driving is considered a sport"
TRUE STORY!
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 carpark 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 inches, 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, "I'm the designated decoy".
