Of course everyone hears about the "guy" who gets away with it, but everyone I know who try to keep the cops from searching his/her car or refuses a breathe test always ends up just making matters worse.

Thanks for the pic, Peter! That's an unrelated incident (the guy's trying to eat his underwear). And apparently, the effort instantly aged him, as he didn't look anywhere close to 18!

Several misc point: - Drinking alcohol impairs your judgment. Would he really be eating a sock if he was not drunk? - When you're too drunk to drive, don't sit in your car in the driver seat. This makes you a drunk driver, even if you are not driving. You probably should not sit in a car at all. - It's Canada, maybe refusing the test has different consequences as our. - Plagiarism? Dylan? Really? I thought it was "summarizing", my bad. The picture is priceless!

Plus, while removing certain words and altering the text in an attempt to limit the plagiarism, you've removed important contextual information which has only succeeded in making your version confusing.
