You May Have a Drinking Problem If

A sheriff’s deputy spotted a pickup truck in the Florida Keys, and knew the owner, Daryl Riedel, had a suspended driver’s license, plus three prior DUI convictions and another case pending. He pulled the truck over but, according to the resulting arrest report, as soon as the deputy got out of his car, Riedel took off. The deputy says he pursued the vehicle for two miles before Riedel finally pulled over, then got out of his truck with a can of beer in his hand, which he chugged down. He told the deputy he fled because he was scared, and when asked why he was driving with a suspended license said, “Because I still have to work.” (MS/Florida Keys News) ...It might be time to consider a ride share.
