How a creative Chinese drunk driver tried to evade arrest ... and failed

A drunk driver’s ham-fisted attempt to evade traffic police in northern China landed him in hot water after he ran into a restaurant and pretended to be a chef.

Police in Handan, Hebei province, said the motorist was driving a red car and failed to stop at a breath-test roadblock at about 1am on Friday, prompting officers to give chase, according to a report from the Handan traffic police department’s official WeChat account on Sunday.

The police soon found the car parked at a nearby food street, with the engine running and a woman seated in the vehicle, the statement said.

Officers tried to question the woman but she only shook her head repeatedly.
