In the world of stupid, drunk incidents, this one’s a classic…

A drunk 49-year-old man has been arrested in the Polish city of Pajęczno after taking a 60-year-old Soviet tank for a spin around town. And the individual who was arrested standing beside the parked T55 tank didn’t have tank insurance or a valid license to drive the vehicle according to the Drinks Business.

Authorities said that the tank in question was being transported on a trailer which had become damaged during its journey. The 36-ton tank was then moved out of the trailer so repairs could be carried out.

The “clearly tanked” driver then decided to take the armored vehicle on a joyride around town.

The driver who spent the night in police custody where he was able to sober up could face up to eight years in prison according to PL News.

“The owner {was} probably guided by fantasy, or rather the lack of imagination and alcohol,” reads the communique of the Provincial Police Headquarters in Łódź. The man did not have the authority to drive a tank.

We’d like to report that this drunken tank driving incident was isolated but it is not…

In 2018, A Russian man was arrested after he stole a tank and led a police chase throughout town before failing to negotiate a turn and crashing into a supermarket where he then climbed out of the hatch and left with one bottle of wine from the damaged grocery store.

According to hibinform.ru, Russian authorities arrested the 29-year-old man, who stole the tank from a military driving school in the north-west Russian town of Apatity, with a red wine from the Crimea at the Massandra Winery, which is now owned by the Russian government following Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014.
