Kor37 9 Posted December 2, 2008 Car's drunken drivers have NY police seeing double EAST MEADOW, N.Y. -Police on Long Island say they've pulled two drunken drivers from one car. Nassau County officers say they spotted a woman trying to make a three-point turn on a road in East Meadow. They say that when she couldn't complete the maneuver, she switched places with a male passenger, who took the steering wheel and completed the turn while not wearing a seat belt. Police pulled them over and charged them with drunken driving. As police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey put it, "We have two individuals arrested for driving the same car intoxicated." The man and the woman were arraigned Friday on driving while intoxicated and other charges. The woman was ordered held on $1,000 bail. The man was ordered held on $5,000 bail. They're due back in court Tuesday. Wow....a Two-Fer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
He Who Shall Not Be Named 2 Posted December 3, 2008 The guy could obviously drive better than the girl could. This might be a sign that, although he was still drunk and it is still just as illegal, he wasn't as drunk as she was. (Or maybe 3-point turns are like parallel parking. Girls just can't do it.) So why was his bail 5 times as much? It can't be just for not wearing a seat belt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Theunicornhunter 2 Posted December 3, 2008 maybe he had priors or outstanding warrants - it says they were arraigned on other charges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
