Crime Drunk driver has beer after car flip

[The Helper]

TRAPPED after flipping his car while drunk driving, a man opened another beer as he waited to be rescued.

Paul Nigel Sneddon, 47, pleaded guilty to careless driving and drunken driving in a district court in the North Island city of Palmerston North, the Dominion Post newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Sneddon failed to take a corner on June 1, crashed through a wooden barrier, and flipped his car onto its roof.

The newspaper quoted defence lawyer Peter Young as telling the court when Sneddon found he could not open the doors, ``he had nothing else to do at that point, so he had another beer''.

The logic is sound.

The logic is sound.

It truly is. You're gonna get caught for drunk driving already, why not enjoy yet another tasty brew?

Well, what else could he have done? Help was on its way, and he had nothing to do! Beer it is!

Nah. Hold the bottle right-side up and when you wanna drink, lower it so the mouth is by your mouth and slowly tip it up.

It sound's like you have some experience with this ...

On the flip-side, it doesn't exactly help his case drinking more. I mean that's what got him in the wreck in the first place. Drinking more isn't going to solve anything, though it can make the situation more bearable .

Makes sense to me.

He's already going to get busted for drunk driving... And technically, drinking after the crash isn't something that should be of any use in his trial. It's AFTER a crash. Technically, since the car is flipped and he's not using any controls, he's not "operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated" and thus, drinking afterwards has nothing to do with the trial.

SO! He's in the green for drinking AFTER a crash! It doesn't hurt his case and he gets his "reward?".

How do you flip a car onto a roof?

 

[Sevion]

Not a roof, but its roof. Meaning, the car's roof.

Teh luz.

But seriously. If I ever meet someone named Sneddon, I will NOT be sleeping/talking/having-anything-to-do with them. ' If they ask why, I'll point them to those two news articles.
