Drunk Driver's Record-Breaking Breath Test

0:00On March 30th, a 25-year-old driver from London dairy named Patrick Kelly landed in hot water after cops pulled him over drunk behind the wheel. His breath test was off the charts. The machine straight-up couldn't measure it. The device maxes out at 199 micrograms of alcohol per 100 milliliters of breath, but Kelly blew past that limit big time. For context, the legal cap sits at just 35 micrograms. This all came out in dairy magistrates court, where a police officer laid it out for district judge Una Mullen. The officer explained how no accurate reading was possible due to the extreme level. Word from the courtroom highlights just how risky that kind of driving is, endangering everyone on the road. Penalties for this could hit hard with fines, bans, or jail time. We'll see how the judge rules soon, but cases like this remind us to keep us sober on the streets.
