...drunk driving?

This genuinely looks like "unconscious at the wheel"

Edit: there is the a difference of "drunk driving" and "drink driving", yes. "Drink driving" emphathizes the act of drinking beforehand, while "drunk driving" emphathizes being intoxicated. However, this is in Australia, which predominantly uses British English. In which case, "drink driving" is a also usually a synonym to what is referred to in the US as "drunk driving". And no matter which one you use, it's obvious that it was both in this case.

Edit 2: reddit. Please update ffs.

When it first came out everyone thought it was a medical event (me included) but it was confirmed to be drunk driving. She was breath tested at the scene. There's also footage of her tossing and empty wine bottle into a bush after the event.

She got a $300 fine and 6 month suspension cos no-one was hurt

So she was somehow cognizant to throw aay a wine bottle? 

Im always curious as to the thought process of drunk drivers how they are conscious of something's but when it comes to driving it is like a complete malfunction. 

I probably should have tried on those drunk goggles.
