Wisconsin Teens Pulled Over for Simultaneously Driving the Same Car Drunk

If it's too crazy to be believed, it's probably happened in Wisconsin.
They start 'em young in Wisconsin:
"When a 15-year-old comes into Wile-e’s bar looking for a cold beer, the bartender, Mike Whaley, is happy to serve it up — as long as a parent is there to give permission.
"'If they’re 15, 16, 17, it’s fine if they want to sit down and have a few beers,' said Mr. Whaley, who owns the tavern in this small town in southern Wisconsin."
They made it a lot more complicated than it should be. Driver could have just given passenger the phone and dictated the message to her, while concentrating on weaving throughout town.

I sincerely doubt the message would have been decipherable regardless of who was pressing the buttons.
