Pregnant girl, 14, accused of drink driving

So many things wrong with that headline, but there’s one more thing that the Herald didn’t manage to fit.

Whangarei police Acting Sergeant Kevin Crawford said the girl was stopped after her driving caught police attention on Tuesday evening.

She gave a false name and had difficulty spelling it. She was forbidden to drive and taken to Whangarei police station, where she recorded a breath- alcohol level of 828mcg. The legal limit for drivers under 20 is 150mcg and driving licences are not issued to people under 15.

Update:

I’ve been thinking about this one. Between

• Pregnant
• Age 14
• Drinking
• Driving

I can only think of one combination (pregnant and driving) that isn’t wrong in some way
