Earlier this week, a man was arrested for driving under the influence after dragging roadside guardrails for several hundred meters in a suburban stretch. 😱🚗
The drama unfolded on a local highway when passersby noticed sparks flying and the screeching sound of guardrails scraping against the car's underside. Witnesses say the driver, in his late 20s, didn't stop until police set up a roadblock further down the road.
Breathalyzer tests confirmed he was over the legal blood alcohol limit, resulting in a DUI charge and immediate detention. Authorities stressed that drunk driving isn't just a slap-on-the-wrist offense, it's a deadly gamble, and one bad choice can cost lives.
For young professionals and students navigating busy schedules, a single drink before heading out can feel harmless—but stories like this are a wake-up call. Planning ahead by ordering a ride via an app, hopping on public transport, or designating a sober driver can make all the difference.
Stay safe on the roads, folks! Your future self (and everyone else) will thank you. 👍✨
