BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man failed his driving test after attempting the examination while three times over the legal alcohol limit, police said Tuesday.

When the man arrived for the test Tuesday morning, both his driving instructor and the examiner detected the smell of alcohol on him, though the 27-year-old assured them he had not been drinking, police in the western town of Bendorf said.

"But his driving was rather bad, so the examiner directed him to toward the police station without him noticing," the spokesman said. "Once there, he had to get out and take an alcohol test, which revealed he was well over the limit."

Now wouldn't it be scary if he passed the driving test?

Wouldn't it be scary if the driving instructor DID HIS JOB and didn't let the man drive drunk in the first place?

Yeah that didn't make much sense to me either. If you know the guys drunk, why would you get in the car with him in the first place? Obviously the guy had some issues of his own...

Imagine if somehow he did pass... I have noticed a spike in the number of people who drive under the influence. This guy was pretty stupid to go to his test drunk...

:imho:

Well if he was 3x over the legal limit, I don;t think he was really thinking haha....all i know is if he did pass, I wouldn't have to worry about passing my drivers in about a year and a half haha

Maybe he did pass the driving test, but he was failed because he was drunk? :hehe:

in all fairness, he was drunk, so it probably seemed like a good idea at the time!
