Plan B - Don't Drink & Drive!

Here in NSW, Australia, the state government has a safety push on to cut down on drink driving.

However, being Oz idiots, some people sorta get this a bit wrong and take things too far. But here's a doozy: drunk guy decides not to get a taxi or Uber, and hitches a ride by hanging under a parked semi-trailer. Intending only to go about 50 kms home to his town just up the highway, he ended up over 400 kms away in another state. When he finally crawls out, the local coppers fine him, but have a few laughs too.

Quote:

The man told them he was from the Sunshine Coast but had travelled from Coffs Harbour after he “got a lift with a truck driver”. “You’ve had a big session, lost all control, ended up here somehow and now you’ve got to try and work your way back?” an officer asked. “Pretty much,” the man replied. “Well, that’s a good session,” the officer said. The officers looked stunned when the man told them he travelled in the truck’s undercarriage. “So you are actually underneath the truck, going 110km/h or whatever – no wonder you are anxious, you’re not allowed to do that,” an officer said. Another officer could be heard laughing when the man explained he hoped to jump out at Coffs Harbour but the truck driver “got a green light the whole way through and never stopped until here”.
