How a creative Chinese drunk driver tried to evade arrest ... and failed
Drunk motorist nearly gets away with speeding through a roadblock in northern China
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.
They then entered the only restaurant still open in the street and after scanning the room found nothing suspicious.
