Live fast, brake hard, get a faceful of tarmac, Police blotter, Phnom Penh Post

A drunken man’s overzealous application of his moto’s break ended in disaster on Wednesday in Phnom Penh.

Reportedly driving drunk at high speeds in the capital’s Porsenchey district, the tipsy traveller enthusiastically slammed on the breaks while trying to turn right to get home, tipping him off.

After receiving a face full of tarmac, he passed out, before ringing up relatives to help escort him – and his moto – the rest of the way home.
