What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck!?
Blind man sentenced for 150-mile drive while drunk
A blind motorist who took his partner's car and drove for 150 miles (240km) at night while drunk has been handed a suspended sentence.
Anthony Hall, 50, who does not have a driving licence, was stopped by police on the M6 near Carlisle at 01:45 BST on 29 June after he was seen swerving the Vauxhall Meriva between lanes and onto the hard shoulder, a court was told.
Hall told police he had driven from his home in Huddersfield after he and his partner had drunk four bottles of wine.

@Tattooed_Mummy@beige.party What made this story reach the pinnacle of absurdness was during sentencing he was banned from driving for 12 months. He cannot see. Was the judge also drunk.? Did anyone check?
