Police pull over naked motorist
A man stopped for drink driving was found to be wearing nothing behind the wheel except his shoes and socks.

Craig Cook was spotted by police in Cumbria stopping short of a junction in the early hours of 24 March.

He stalled and his car lurched forward, bumping their vehicle. Officers then discovered he was almost naked.

The 20-year-old of Trumpet Terrace, Cleator Moor, pleaded guilty to driving with excess alcohol. Magistrates banned him for 15 months and fined him £100.

Whitehaven Magistrates' Court heard that Cook was driving between Rowrah and Asby with two girls and two men following a night out in Workington when he encountered the police.

Never explained

A spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service said: "His trousers and top were stuffed into the footwell of the car.

"The passengers in the rear of the car were not apparently aware that he was naked.

"It seems they saw him get out to relieve himself and were unaware that when he got back in the car it was without his clothes on."

Cook was taken into custody and then to hospital where his blood alcohol level was found to be over the legal limit.

It is understood he never explained why he was driving almost naked.

Maybe the car was too hot, and the heater control was jammed!

Ah well, at least he had his shoes on, and was not speeding... :roll:

Ernest ( and others ) might remember the days when driving bare bum would get you a fried ass - the days when seats were leather/ simulated leather and a towel etc was needed to provide thermal insulation
