“I was only trying to help,” said German driver Hans Bad after he was arrested for drunk driving. Hans was driving along the motorway when he saw a car at the side of the road. Thinking that the car had broken down, he stopped to help. However, the car was actually a police car and part of a roadside spot check for drunk drivers. “As soon as he got out of the car, we suspected that he was under the influence of alcohol,” a police officer explained. “He fell out of the car, lurched forwards and started shouting loudly about how he was going to help us and that everything would be all right,” the officer added. “Obviously, he couldn’t see very well, otherwise he would have realised that this was a police car.” The 37-yearold man was arrested and banned from driving.
