Driving under the influence not only puts the driver's life at risk but also endangers the lives of others on the road. It is important to always practice safe and responsible driving habits.
This is not the first time that someone has made headlines for getting a DUI while dressed in a costume. In 2014, a man dressed up as an Elf on the Shelf was found asleep in his van in New Jersey. According to SBS, the 23-year-old man was discovered passed out behind the wheel of a van with its engine running, lights on, and musicblaring. He was in a red shirt, red pants, and a white ruffled collar.
Lieutenant James Macintosh told SBS that the New Jersey native seemed confused about where he was and had an open can of beer in the car as he woke up. The man was issued a summons and released to a family member.
In both cases, the drivers were lucky that they didn't cause any accidents or harm to themselves or others. However, the consequences of driving under the influence can be severe. Not only can it lead to criminal charges, but it can also result in injury or even death.
