Five thousand cans of beer in the van, 5,000 cans of beer…
A driver was caught by police in England driving at double the legal limit.

That’s weight limit. His rusty old Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was pulled over in Cambridgeshire when it was spotted (booze) cruising along with its front end suspiciously squished to the ground.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}When they opened it up, police found 5,000 cans of high-test 14.2 percent ABV Polish lager on board, according to SWNS.
Further investigation discovered that the van had a set of heavy duty springs on the rear suspension, suggesting this wasn’t a one-off violation. The van was reportedly delivering the drinks from Birmingham to Ipswich, and there is no indication that the shipment was otherwise illegal.
A visit to the scales found that the van was 3300 pounds over the legal limit, so the driver will have to deliver himself to court soon to face charges.
