This damn designated driver actually has a video?
At first, Xu Ning didn't realize what the middle-aged couple was going to do.
They were most likely drunk, and their brains were out of control.
But the problem is, you can do anything, even urinate and defecate anywhere, but don't drive!
This is not only about your own safety but also about the safety of pedestrians.
It doesn't matter if you crash into a utility pole yourselves, but don't hit pedestrians!
Recalling it, the couple did seem to have drunk quite a lot.
He really wasn't at ease!
However, this was a designated driver order received directly at the store, not through a designated driver platform, so he couldn't contact the couple at all.
Seeing that the destination wasn't far, Xu Ning, unable to rest assured, simply hailed a taxi by the roadside and followed them.
Even if this matter couldn't be blamed on him, as a designated driver, he should still try his best to take care of drunk car owners.
However, the taxi hadn't even driven two kilometers when, just as they were about to reach the destination, he saw flashing police lights in the distance.
With his experience as a designated driver during this period, Xu Ning immediately realized that the Traffic Police were setting up a drunk driving checkpoint.
His heart sank instantly; following this route, wouldn't that middle-aged couple be caught?
Sighing deeply, Xu Ning shook his head helplessly. This was going to be difficult.
Sure enough, as they got closer, he saw several Traffic Police Officers surrounding the middle-aged couple. The woman kept arguing with the Traffic Police, appearing very agitated.
"Master, please pull over, I'll get off here."
Although he couldn't change anything at this point, the necessary explanation still had to be made.
What if the Traffic Police saw that they had driven a very short distance while drunk and gave a lighter punishment?
However, as soon as he approached, he heard the woman's voice, full of indignation in her agitation, as she argued with the Traffic Police.
"I really didn't lie!"
"We called a designated driver at the restaurant!"
"But that designated driver just parked the car by the side of the road and ran off."
"We don't know if he was in a hurry to go home for a funeral; he just abandoned us and left us to fend for ourselves!"
"It's so late, what do you expect us to do?"
"If we don't drive home soon, who knows if something unexpected will happen if we fall asleep by the roadside?"
"I swear, I only drove less than a kilometer myself!"
"Police Officer, please be lenient!"
"I have children at home who need to go to school, and a paralyzed elderly person to take care of. I really can't be detained!"
... Listening to the woman's words, Xu Ning immediately became enraged.
I abandoned you and left you to fend for yourselves?
You're quite good at twisting black and white!
If it were just like this, he wouldn't be angry.
She actually said he was in a hurry to go home for a funeral... Her mouth was so vicious, she was utterly shameless!
He had originally thought of helping them explain to see if the punishment could be reduced.
But now, sorry, I'm determined to be this incriminating witness!
At this moment, the Traffic Police Officer, having listened to her explanation, frowned, feeling that it was not easy to handle.
Because based on experience, he judged that the couple should have called a designated driver.
When he checked just now, the woman was driving, but the husband was sitting in the back seat, which was a bit incongruous.
According to normal logic, no matter who drives between a couple, the other person would most likely sit in the front passenger seat, not the back seat.
Of course, it's easy to verify the designated driver matter; just call the restaurant or check surveillance footage along the way.
If it was truly due to an unreliable designated driver that led to this situation, there might indeed be a possibility of leniency.
The crucial point was that they found through the police platform that the woman had a previous drunk driving record two years ago.
According to drunk driving penalty regulations, first-time drunk driving does not result in detention, only a six-month suspension of the driver's license.
Only when caught driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated again will one be detained.
This meant that if she was found guilty of drunk driving this time, she would truly be detained.
"Captain Luo, what should we do?" The Traffic Police Officer felt a pang of compassion and went to ask for instructions from the deputy squadron leader who was leading the drunk driving check.
The deputy squadron leader thought for a moment and said, "Let's check the surveillance. If they really had a designated driver when they left the restaurant, proving they had sought one, then we'll let it go this time!"
The couple's faces simultaneously lit up with joy, relieved to have escaped a calamity.
However, their joy didn't last long, abruptly ending the moment Xu Ning suddenly appeared.
"You..." The woman pointed at Xu Ning, her face a mix of shock and anger.
Xu Ning couldn't help but let out a cold snort, his face showing disdain.
"Officer, he's the designated driver who abandoned us just now!"
"Shouldn't you arrest him for such egregious behavior, where he disregards the lives and deaths of his passengers?"
"This should even count as an infringement on our personal rights, shouldn't it?"
The woman's eyes darted around, and she immediately shouted agitatedly at the Traffic Police, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Yes, yes, it's him!"
"It's this unethical scoundrel!"
The man also immediately chimed in from the side, accusing Xu Ning.
The Traffic Police Officer walked over with a frown, asking in a serious tone.
"Are you their designated driver?"
"Did you abandon them halfway and leave them to fend for themselves?"
Although he was asking, he had already believed the couple's statement in his heart, judging that Xu Ning must have intended to harm them.
However, Xu Ning merely shrugged and smiled calmly.
"I am indeed the designated driver they called."
"But things didn't happen as they said."
"I'm too lazy to explain; why don't you just watch the video!"
Saying this, Xu Ning took off the action camera from his chest, operated it, transferred the video to his phone, and then handed it to the Traffic Police Officer to watch.
The Traffic Police Officer took it with surprise, not expecting this designated driver to have recorded it.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged couple's faces turned pale, and they exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.
How could this be?
This damned designated driver actually had a recording?
Doesn't that mean that the drunk driving they could have escaped this time they wouldn't?
Would she also be arrested and detained?
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the woman couldn't help but tremble all over, her face turning incredibly pale.
Before long, the Traffic Police Officer had finished watching the video, his face very grim.
He had almost been deceived just now!
What designated driver suddenly abandoned you?
You simply abandoned the designated driver to save the designated driver fee!
And then you played the victim here to gain sympathy!
Absolutely shameless to the extreme!
Punish!
Must be severely punished!
According to the penalty standards, repeat drunk driving will result in detention for up to 10 days, a fine of between one thousand and two thousand yuan, and revocation of the driver's license.
Both detention and fines can be varied within the range.
For example, only three days of detention, or only a fine of one thousand yuan.
But now, this couple deserves no sympathy at all; direct maximum penalty, no discussion!
Ten days of detention, two thousand yuan fine!
Handing the phone back to Xu Ning, the Traffic Police Officer smiled at Xu Ning, "Thank you for providing the evidence."
Then he turned his head and waved at several Auxiliary Police Officer officers.
The Auxiliary Police Officer officers understood his meaning and, without any politeness, directly stepped forward, restrained the woman, and put her into the police car.
