Drunk Drivers Beyond the Reach of Law? A Video Exposes a Shocking Loophole
A recent incident highlights how powerless the police can become when a drunk driver evades responsibility simply by stepping out of the car.
The author of the video shared the story of a troubling encounter on the road. While driving, he narrowly avoided being hit by another car whose driver failed to signal. In his view, the man behind the wheel was clearly intoxicated. Determined not to let the matter slide, the video’s author followed the car and called the police. Yet officers could do nothing: there had been no accident, and by the time they arrived, the driver had already left the vehicle. Once the car was abandoned, the police found themselves effectively powerless.
Calling the situation absurd, the video’s author raised a pressing question: how are drunk drivers supposed to be kept off the roads if the rules appear not to apply to them? The incident took place in Lithuania, underscoring a legal blind spot that leaves the public exposed.
