“Not My Drinking Car”: New York Woman Comes Up With Worst DUI Defense Ever

Sharon K. Bidell, 55, was pulled over in her car by police on suspicion of drunk driving. Those suspicions were not elevated when she objected to police that her 1965 Chevy Nova was “not my drinking car.” Perhaps but it turned out to be her impounded car.

Before being pulled over, Bidell struck a parked car and later blew a blood-alcohol level of 0.21 percent, almost three times the legal limit.

She is now charged with DWI, aggravated DWI and making an unsafe lane change.
