This man stopped a drink driver. But he is the one in trouble with the police.

Last weekend Jason Turner had seen a drunk get into a car and drive off. A year earlier another drunk driver was injuring a friend of his when he was knocking him off his motorbike. So, Mr. Turner, a 36-year-old financial dealer, had followed the drunk in his own car. As they had driven along Mr. Turner had shouted at the other driver. He was telling him to stop the car. But the other driver hadn’t taken any notice. Mr. Turner later was telling police that it was only then that he was trying to hit the other car. “The other car drove very dangerously”, Mr. Turner had said. “And I was stopping him”. The police didn’t agree. Mr. Turner had to pay $1500 for dangerous driving.
