Authorities said a western New York man whose license expired 33 years ago has been charged with driving while intoxicated after police said he drove a van 11 miles without one of its tires. The Genesee County Sheriff's Office said another motorist reported seeing a tire falling off a van weaving on a road in Bethany late Monday night.

Deputies later arrested 61-year-old Duane Bush at his home in Bethany, 32 miles southwest of Rochester. Deputies said the van traveled 11 miles through the rural town without a rear right tire.

Bush was charged with aggravated DWI and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. Deputies said his blood-alcohol level was more than three times above the legal limit of .08 percent. http://apnews.excite.com/article/201008 ... 87FO0.html

i suprized he made it home the road had to be a mess leading most the way to his house . he is lucky he didnt flip the van even going slow there top heavy for the most part . i wonder what was left of the wheel ,drum or rotor on the right side of his van. it is a hell of a light (spark ) show at night even on a gravel road when you loose a tire and ride on a rim. mackme

Hmmm, right rear tire? If the van was empty and he was a fat man, the rim may have rarely touched the ground except when turning left...

What gets me is no license, dui... they should throw the book at him. Driver License in the US is a joke. Its way to easy to get and not enforced strictly. People think its a right not a responsibility.
