Mercedes-Benz Vehicles, Concept Cars, and the Mercedes Lifestyle

Whether you’re driving a used Mercedes-Benz or any other type of vehicle, driving drunk is the mother of all no-nos. This 17-year-old girl in North Dakota must have realized this a little bit too late.

The girl’s name is not being released, but she called 911 while she was behind the wheel and under the influence. Luckily, she was sober enough to pull over in a parking lot after calling 911. She sat there and waited with the keys out of the ignition, but she was obviously drunk. She also said she was driving around for hours after getting drunk at a New Year’s party. Fortunately, she didn’t get in any accidents.

“She told us her life was spiraling out of control, and she had spent the majority of time drinking over the past two weeks,” said Lt. Randy Ziegler, an officer that responded to the call. He went on to say, “I’ve never heard of such a thing happening, and neither has anyone here.”

You should always have enough sense to avoid driving your Mercedes vehicles or any other cars when you’ve been drinking. Even if you’ve “only had a couple,” be safe and have respect for other drivers.
