John Robson of TheRebel.Media reports that on September 10 1897 a certain George Smith, a London cabbie, had the dubious distinction of being the first person charged with drunk driving.

But guess who’s still at the wheel. JOIN TheRebel.media for more fearless news and commentary you won’t find anywhere else. http://www.TheRebel.media VISIT our NEW group blog The Megaphone!
