I do. He was in charge of a potentially lethal vehicle, so inebriated that he couldn't stop for a highly illuminated building. Bunch of children at a bus stop, group of cyclists out for a ride, no chance.
He's a 19 year old, who has been through the driving test, has access to a car and enough money to go out on the piss. He was charged costs of £85.00 - not exactly punitive.
The thing that got me most though was the overall tone of the article. The jovial title, complete with misspelling - 'He took the drive-thu literally' makes it all seem like a bit of a laugh. At no point do they point out he's a dickhead.
