He was a bad driver AND he drank. Thank god he never hurt anyone. He lost his license pretty much forever.

One night he turned into what he thought was our neighborhood. It’s was the woods a good 1/4 mile short. He got his car so far back and so stuck (between 2 trees) he just got out and walked home. In the morning he walked back to get it. Everyone was there - cops, fire, tow trucks. They couldn’t figure out how exactly he got it there. He walked by them, got in his car, and drove it out. There was nothing they could do because they didn’t catch him in the act of DUI.
