Getting behind the wheel of the wheel drunk is irresponsible.

But letting the twelve-year-old son drive instead isn't a really good solution either.

Halle (Saale) - No question about it: If you look too deep into the glass at a party, you should leave your car behind. And not only because driving drunk entails penalties - but because it puts your life and your life in danger. How risky such drunk driving are, dashcam videos that were published, for example by the police in Canada and also in Great Britain, to warn of the dangers of driving alcohol. Instead, you can use a taxi to get home, public transport - or you can ask someone to chauffeur you home. Using the twelve-year-old son as a driver is not really an alternative, however. A father in Halle (Saale) has actually done exactly that, as reported by 24auto.de.

Twelve-year-old chauffeurs his drunk father home in the car - passers-by intervene

Apparently, on New Year's Eve, the man had a good intoxication relatively early: at least around 8 p.m. he called home and asked to be picked up because he had drunk too much.

Actually the right step, because not everyone realizes that they are no longer able to drive a vehicle: for example, a father recently picked up his son from school when he was just under four per thousand.

Twelve-year-old chauffeurs his drunken father home - not for the first time at the wheel?

As the police reported, the twelve-year-old son of the drunk then quickly grabbed the car keys and drove off.

It is probably not the first time that the twelve-year-old has been behind the wheel of a car - most of his peers are probably not easily able to drive a car.

(Burning Audi A4 ends up in the pool - what's behind the strange accident?)

And the twelve-year-old actually picked up his father - and brought him home safely.

However, the somewhat unusual chauffeur was noticed by passers-by during the joyride: They took action and alerted the police.

At least for the father, this incident should not remain without consequences.
