A Really Bad Driver

No matter what your driving record says, there is no way you can touch an Italian man for"World's worst Driver."
According to the AP, the 47-year-old was stopped for 15 violations in 11 minutes.
It all apparently started when he passed an unmarked police car at 110 mph. It got worse when he ignored their attempts to pull him over, then sped through a construction zone.

New Alcohol Limits Placed on Race Fans

Spectators who are gearing up to watch the Bathurst 1000, a road race in Australia, will also be faced with a daily limit on how much alcohol they can drink. It's an effort on the part of the police to limit violence, which is thought to correlate with alcohol consumption.

The limit?

For beer drinkers: 24 cans per day per person, or 36 cans per day if drinking "lower strength beer."

For wine drinkers: 4 liters of wine per day per person.

Let's hope these new limits work...

Unlucky Strikes

Have you ever been in a public place and asked someone to stop smoking?  Say you are waiting for a bus or a train, and you think the waiting area is nonsmoking - and then a great big gust of cigarette smoke wanders into you.  If you were very sensititve to cigarette smoke, maybe you'd make a show of being affected by the smoke, waving your hands in front of your face and coughing.  Or maybe you'd simply ask the smoker to put out the cigarette.

But then what if the smoker didn't put out his or her cigarette?  What if, instead of putting out their cigarette, they punched you in the nose?

That's exactly what happened to a woman in Melbourne, Australia.  Police are asking the public's assistance in finding the assailant.
