They were discussing one of the most contentious issues of this century, the driver's license points for police to one of these people, I take away six points of the card, that had driven drunk on the road that crosses this locality.
    The friend who told the story was passed to his friend that went: "I was so quiet coming to Santa Amalia, when police, who was at the gas station, I stop. One of the policemen asked me if I had drunk, and I with all the truth before I said no, but the device will measure the amount of alcohol was positive, so they put the appropriate fine. But I will I insist that I had not drunk, so the police put me back to the device and this time was negative, and the police became suspicious and I did two more tests with the same result, negative, and as a consequence the fine does not put me. "

    And another friend said he had been lucky, so the friend did not understand.
