The oath to never leave a fallen comrade behind is apparently making a lot of sense not only during a war, but also on public roads where you just can’t ignore a brother who needs help.
This pretty much sums up what happened recently in Canada, where a drunk driver reportedly stopped to help another drunk driver who ended up with his car in a ditch on the side of the road.
As weird as it may sound, it all started when drunk driver number 1 was driving on Gilbert Road in Richmond when due to obvious reasons he lost control of the steering wheel and ended up with the vehicle in a ditch late at night. Because, at the end of the day, both literally and figuratively, alcohol never makes a good pair with driving and darkness in the first place.
While this can very well be used as a lesson for anyone thinking drinking and driving is cool, what happened next is a little bit… unexpected.
Instead of calling the roadside assistance to tow the car out of the ditch or dial 911 because, you know, this was really an accident, drunk driver number 1 actually received a hand with the whole thing from another drunk driver who rapidly arrived at the scene.
This is what a Richmond resident told the local media, with the police later confirming that drunk driver number 1 got in the car belonging to drunk driver number 2, and both attempted to leave the place where the accident took place.
The good news is the police officers actually managed to spot the car just in time to track down drunk driver number 2, therefore pulling over his vehicle and therefore charging both of them.
The two brothers in arms got their driver’s licenses suspended for 90 days, with their cars also impounded for 30 days.
