So you're drunk, and you're driving a car. The cops pull you over. Yet they don't charge you with drunk driving. In fact, they can't. If it sounds like a riddle, the answer is: the drunk driver was a 9-year-old boy! As reported by The Sun:

The lad was breathalysed by police and taken into custody after they spotted him behind the wheel in Cumbria.
But they were forced to let him back on the streets as his age meant he was not old enough to be held accountable for his actions.
The child, who has not been named, was among thousands of under 18s arrested in the north of England over the past two years.
