A BRITISH man was banned from driving for three years after getting behind the wheel of a pink toy Barbie car when drunk.
Paul Hutton, 40, leaped into the seat of the tiny electric car, which has a top speed of just over 6km/h, when he was over the UK legal limit, The Sun reports.
But a police patrol car spotted Hutton crammed behind the steering wheel crawling along the road near his home in Essex, southeastern England, and pulled him over.
Hutton admitted being a "complete twit" after he ended up in front of Colchester Magistrates' Court, in Essex, charged with drunk-driving.

To British cops, even this battery powered toy Barbie jeep is a car.

You mean the drunk wasn’t arrested in England for the global warming caused by the “vehicle”?

Wow. Good thing they didn't nail him for driving without a helmet, otherwise it'd be 10-20 in the slammer!
Stupid wankers. The fact that he was caught driving a BARBIE CAR is punishment enough for most guys.

Well, if you can get a DUI on a 10-speed or a horse why not a toy.

If he was on the road then he could have been killed if the police did not bring him in.

Don't drive you child's car when drunk , teach your daughter to drive your car while you are safely drunk in the back seat . Sometimes it takes two of them , one to push the accelerator and one to steer .

Talk about embarrassing for BOTH sides: for the person charged with drunk driving in a toy car & for the genius cop who thinks the toy car is a real car.
To: Molson Labe
Yeah right, like we're looking at the damn jeep ;^)

A reminder that a prohibition on behaving as a "complete twit" could be a nice addition to criminal law....
(j/k, although it would apply nicely to so many liberals it would of course be sooooo easily abused in return :^)

Definitely one we won’t see regularly, but once in a while. That’s why I posted this article on FR.
