Lithuanian police astonished after driver's breathalyzer registers 18 times legal limit

By LIUDAS DAPKUS




VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) - Lithuanian police were so astonished when they pulled over a truck driver and his breathalyzer test registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit that they thought their testing device must be broken.

It wasn't.

Police said Tuesday 41-year-old Vidmantas Sungaila registered 7.27 grams per litre of alcohol in his blood repeatedly on different devices when he was pulled over for driving his truck down the centre of a two-lane highway 100 kilometres from the capital, Vilnius, on Saturday.

Lithuania's legal limit is 0.4 grams per litre.

Whoa, that's crazy.

[Bhelliom]

to put it more in perspective for those of you not old enough to drink... or those with lax DUI laws.... or just those unfamiliar.... In most of north america... the legal limit is .08..... above .2 for most people is where they start puking and become blackout drunk..... .35 is lethal for most people... so .72.... He is seriously not human

[blazi]

that much alcohol would have crippled me for life, if I could even survive drinking that much at once

A point 72 is incredible. Maybe he takes that drug that makes alcohol not work?
