DUI For Man In Barbie Toy Car

Our Chicago DUI Lawyers have blogged about some of the many maniacs MADD has helped to take off the roads, including people on barstools, lawnmowers, horseback, golf carts, bicycles, wheelchairs, tractors, La-Z-boy chairs, and even an Amish man in a buggy.

Now the latest in absurd drunk driving arrests, a man in a toy Barbie car.

Drunk-driving in Barbie car costs man license

LONDON: A Briton caught drunk while driving a toy Barbie car, whose top speed is barely four miles per hour, has been banned from driving.

Forty-year-old Paul Hutton received a three-year ban as he had received another drink-drive ban within the past 10 years.

He was pulled over by police when he was driving an electric Barbie car that moves slower than a mobility scooter close to his home in Essex, The Telegraph reported Tuesday.

“You have to be a contortionist to get in, and then you can’t get out. I was very surprised to get done for drink-driving but I was a twit to say the least.

“It is designed for three-to-five-year-olds. Originally it was a pink Barbie car but I put bigger wheels on it but it’s not fast,” he said after the hearing at Colchester magistrates court.

Wow. Congratulations to all involved in making our roads and playgrounds safer.
