German man busted while drunk driving in wheelchair

A 31-year-old German riding his wheelchair on the road alarmed Police when they discovered he was 10 times over the legal limit for drivers.
"He was right in the middle of the road," said a spokesman for police in the northeastern city of Schwerin on Tuesday. "The officers couldn't quite believe it when they saw the results of the breath test. That's a life-threatening figure." The wheelchair bound man told police he had been drinking with a friend and was closed to home before they stopped him. Due to the fact he was riding as a pedestrian, he could not be charged with a driving offense. "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."
