A YOUNG delivery driver in Yorkshire will not be making deliveries for the next 12 months. He had his licence suspended and was fined £100
for driving while unfit. "It must have been something late," he protested indignantly.
It was indeed. After eating' some raw button mushrooms he suffered a fit of uncontrollable mirth, followed by haziness. Bradford magistrates did not share his amusement, particularly when they heard that the fungus in question contained a hallucinogenic drug which became potent at a certain time of the year.
I wonder whether it is an offence to drive under the influence of radishes.
