But they still passed him.The first day of actual driving in the real world, Billy was drunk. He had found beer in his dads fridge and had thought, whats a better way of celebrating than beer and a drive to my friends house? The driving schools really should teach more. As Billy swerved down the road, a kid in front of him accidentally kicked the ball into the street and ran to go get it. Billy was too busy giggling to himself because he had thought of something funny to notice the child. All he felt was a big bump, which he just thought was a pothole, and kept driving.A few minutes later a cop car was in pursuit. Billy heard the sirens and looked behind him to see the cop car. He pulled over to the side of the road as the cop came to the window. 无用户答案Reference Answer:The cop gave the hand signal to roll down the window but Billy was too drunk to understand what he meant.

I drank a little beer but it was just a celebration, said Billy.The cop handcuffed Billy and put him in the back of the car.
