How Do You Manage To Get Busted For Drunk Driving Even Though You're In the Back of a Cab? Here's How.

The San Francisco Police Department has proven that a soused man sitting in the back of a taxi can still be nailed for drunk driving -- provided he irritates his cabdriver enough.

A pair of police at Holloway and Arellano Avenues were flagged down by a cabbie early Saturday morning who, according to the subsequent report "stated that the passenger was having him drive around aimlessly."

While wasting a cabdriver's time is not a crime, driving under the influence is -- and after the cops ran the passenger's record, it turned out he was wanted on a no-bail drunk driving warrant. And that's when the cuffs came out.

So, there you go: Yes, Virginia, there is a way to get busted for drunk driving while sitting, plastered, in the back of a taxi. And we got through this whole article without making a single joke about backseat driving.
