A Man in a wheelchair German stunned police when they pulled him over for using the road and found he was 10 times over the legal alcohol limit for drivers.
“He was right in the middle of the road,” said a spokesman for police in the northeastern city of Schwerin today.
“The officers couldn't quite believe it when they saw the results of the breath test.
"That's a life-threatening figure.”
The 31-year-old told police he had been out drinking with a friend and was about 2km from home when a squad car stopped him as he passed through the village of Ventschow.
Police said that because the man was technically travelling as a pedestrian, he could not be charged with a driving offence.
“It's not like we can impound his wheelchair,” the spokesman said.
“But he is facing some sort of punishment.
"It's just not clear yet what exactly that will be.”
