Belfast 93
Uni in Belfast. Me and 3 mates drive into town in my old Kadett, for an evening at the Pub. One is voted to be the driver, and is therefore forced to remain sober. Over the course of the evening the rest of us get completely drunk. And we meet a lot of our fellow stundents, some of them with no idea how to get back home. So we decide (against the advice of the driver) to take another 4 people with us, totalling 8 people in an Opel Kadett. It takes us no more than 60 seconds to run into the next Police road block. Now imagine 8 people in a small German car (i.e. driver on the left side), a police officer asking the 2 drunk persons on the "drivers" seat for their driving licence, then noticing where to really look for the driver and advise him "to bring them all home safely, and better not have that many people in the car in future". We were extremely lucky that they were not looking for traffic offenders, but rather for IRA terrorists, otherwise some of us might have walked the rest of 5 miles to the dormitory.
