0:00From across Europe, powered by AI, this is Europe News Today. I'm Corey, with the story. A 25-year-old guy from London Dairy named Patrick Kelly got pulled over so wasted that the breathalyzer flat-out failed to give a number. Cops said his booze level maxed out the machine, which top-set 199 micrograms per 100 milliliters of breath. In Dairy magistrates court, the officer laid it out for District Judge Una Mullen. They tested him over the weekend, but his reading blue passed the limit so hard no accurate result came back at all. That legal cap sits at just 35 micrograms per 100 milliliters, so Kelly was way over the edge. Court see plenty of drum-driving cases, but this one's extreme enough to break the tech. No word yet on the final ruling, but judges don't play with numbers like that. It highlights how dangerous getting behind the wheel hammer can get, even if the gadget can't keep up. Stay sharp out there folks, booze and roads don't mix, and the laws watching close.
