Yeah impaired driving certainly isn't a joke for drunk driving victims eh....😏

For those wondering.. no my cousin terry didn’t spill any beer during this encounter and yes his 98 firebird has been impounded

With police,, this is a lot more common than you think. I’ve witnessed it myself

Hopefully he didnt spill any of it..

🤗 Some one going with to much of it....🙏

Pave paradise and put up another grotesque subdivision, and make a few developers rich. Ontario - We Can Do Better!. GUARANTEED, IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT YOU'RE SMOKING, THAT'S FOR SURE If they voted for Trudeau and his 500,000 immigrants a year, I wonder what the voters were smoking?
