I love bullshit headlines! I really do!
Crown lawyer drove over twice legal limit - court
Quote:
A Rotorua crown prosecutor has been caught drink driving at nearly twice the legal limit.
Rotorua District Court was told yesterday that Richard William Maze, 27, was stopped at a checkpoint in June after he had been out celebrating his birthday, the Daily Post reported.
He recorded a reading of 729 micrograms of alcohol per litre of breath. The limit is 400mcg.
Judge James Weir fined Maze $450 and banned him from driving for six months after he admitted driving over the alcohol limit.

Yeeeeah... I think there's a pretty distinct difference between being nearly twice the limit and over twice the limit.

The incident happened in June, shortly after passengers disembarked the plane, and was caught by an airport CCTV camera.

Well which is it? As passengers disembarked or after? I guess it sounds so much more sexy and exciting to have a headline in your newspaper that says the plane was blown away from the boarding gate as passengers were disembarking. So dangerous and enthralling! We couldn't possibly have a truthful headline which is not nearly so alarmist and shocking.
