Paris - A Frenchman who drank excessive
amounts of alcohol and then drove 17 times round a roundabout
said he had not heard the sirens when police finally brought him
to a halt.
The dizzying drive was not the 73-year-old's first offence
of its kind, Ouest France newspaper, which reported the tale,
said of the incident in Brittany, western France. The driver's
licence was confiscated, it said.
