Attempted Suicide Convicted Of Dui

|

Some days nothing goes right….

London, England  A motorist tried to commit suicide by driving over a cliff – only to be prosecuted for drink driving.

John Corner was suffering from depression when he headed to the rockface with lots of alcohol. He parked close to the edge, had a drink to summon up courage and drove straight for the precipice. But his car stopped just inches from disaster after hitting a fence. He was found by police close to the scene and was arrested – for drunk driving the short distance from where he had stopped to the edge of the cliff…

Mr. Corner, believed to be from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, won his appeal on the grounds he was not a danger to other road users while driving towards the cliff’s edge. 

Apparently, police in England have about the same degree of common sense and compassion as their brethren in America.
