Breathalyzer tests needed for drivers.

This is a humorous and detailed account of a driver in Funchal, Madeira, who followed a vehicle driven by what appeared to be a very drunk person. The author describes how the driver drove erratically, making dangerous lane changes, occupying both lanes of traffic, and nearly causing several accidents. The vehicle ended up hitting a side mirror at the entrance of the Pingo Doce warehouse, then continued driving in the opposite lane. The author followed the car at a safe distance and humorously suggests the driver should be tested, comparing him to "a barrel of Madeira Wine." The post ends with a sarcastic note warning that the mirror can be found at the accident site.
