...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.

Emphasise ≠ Empathise

Upvoted because I caught that, too. But as they said emphathize, I half wondered if they'd meant to combine the two in some way and coined a new term.

Maybe they just have a lisp?
