Tipsy driver alerts police by mistake
VIENNA (Reuters) - An Austrian motorist too drunk to change a tyre phoned a police emergency number by mistake instead of the breakdown service and wound up losing his driving licence, police said on Thursday.
"He mixed up emergency service numbers," a police official in the central town of Andau told Reuters. "On the phone it was clear he was highly intoxicated and we sent over a patrol car. He doesn't need his vehicle now because we took his licence."
