It is believed that the cold is already being felt in France but being caught by the police, in the morning, driving with a blood alcohol level of 2.4 grams per liter of blood is still admirable.
The 58-year-old driver was checked at 8 am on Monday south of Bordeaux by the Landes gendarmerie when he was driving his agricultural tractor.
The tractor driver was told to stop after agents saw him driving with a bottle of beer in hand as they passed him by car.
Police control was a succession of surprise offenses for the gendarmes: first, they found a package of beers, already open, hidden under the tractor seat.
As if “bad luck” wasn’t enough, the agents discovered that the driver had his driving license seized a week ago.
On September 22, he had already been checked with 2.5 grams per liter of blood behind the wheel of one of his two cars.
In addition, he was not wearing a seat belt and had failed a mandatory technical check on the tractor.
Arrested immediately, he was sentenced in summary proceedings to three months in prison. The two cars, as well as the tractor, were seized, and the driver’s license was canceled, and he could not be re-examined in two years.
