Stopped for driving under the influence of alcohol, calls the mother to take him away, even she was above the limits. They call the father , guess ?

If it’s not a record then what it is. An entire family in South Canterbury, New Zealand has lost their licence practically at the same time , due to driving under the influence of alcohol.

It all started when a fifteen year old was stopped on the State Highway 1 and was found to be driving with an alcohol amount greater than what is permitted for minors.

The boy was taken to the police station and from the there the agents of police called his mother to take him away. The woman however when she was going to the police station was stopped by the police on Craigie Avenue, who found her with an alcohol amount greater than the permitted level. The woman was also taken to the police station.

It did not end there however: the mother and son had called the father to take them away. But on the way to the police station, the father also met a third patrol, at North Street and his licence was also seized for driving under the influence of alcohol.

In New Zealand, from 1st August 2011 the minimum age limit of 16 years has been introduced to issue the license: earlier it was possible to have it even some months before, since with the completion of 15 years it is possible to register oneself at a driving school, obtaining the license (though with some limits on driving) in about six months.
