   The silver Mercedes was weaving along the four-lane road. Two solid yellow stripes and embedded 1 reflectors separated the lanes. The Mercedes driver was very well-dressed. He was also very drunk. He was driving with all the car windows open and the music blasting away. He couldn't maintain a steady speed. He sped up, and then he slowed down. He couldn't drive straight. He steered 3 to the right edge of the road until he hit the rumble 4 strip. The vibration 5 made him steer 2 left. He steered left until he hit the embedded reflectors. The vibration made him steer right. He had no idea of how bad he was driving. But a policeman behind him did. The cop pulled him over. He made him get out of his Mercedes. He handed him a breathalyzer. The driver mumbled 6 thank you. He held the breathalyzer as if it were a phone. He said hello.
