Canadian Police Force To Punish Drink-Drivers By Making Them Listen To Nickelback
How do you stop people from drinking and driving over the Christmas period? Show everyone a wikihow guide? Take a leaf out of Sweden’s book and ramp up tax on alcohol? (The Swedes enjoy the highest spirits duty in the EU, and among the highest on beer and wine.)
Definitely not. Both of those ideas are rubbish.
So how 'do' you solve a problem like festive drink driving? Well one Canadian Police Department has drummed up a novel new way to tackle the issue. They’re going to force drink-drivers to listen to Nickelback. Poor Chad Kroger and co, they don’t get an easy ride on the Internet, do they?
“So, the Holiday Season is upon us and that means more social events, staff parties and alcohol based libations,” wrote the Kensington Police Service on Facebook. “Now, with that being said, know that the Kensington Police Service will be out for the remainder of year looking for those dumb enough to feel they can drink and drive.
“And when we catch you, and we will catch you, on top of a hefty fine, a criminal charge and a years driving suspension we will also provide you with a bonus gift of playing the offices copy of Nickelback in the cruiser on the way to jail.
“Now, now, no need to thank us, we figure if you are foolish enough to get behind the wheel after drinking then a little Chad Kroeger and the boys is the perfect gift for you.
“So please, lets not ruin a perfectly good unopened copy of Nickelback. You don't drink and drive and we won't make you listen to it.”
When will Nickelback stop getting roasted? Nobody knows. We're starting to feel a little bad for the guys...
