'Stupid' motorist who drove for half-mile down frozen canal facing court
55 replies, posted
A pair of 'stupid' thrill-seekers face court after allegedly driving along a frozen canal in a car.
The pair narrowly escaped death after their vehicle broke through ice on the Union Canal in West Lothian plunging them into the freezing water.
Police branded the hapless driver and his passenger 'stupid' after they were spotted motoring along the frozen canal near Winchburgh on Monday afternoon.
The men are alleged to have driven down a slip road to a popular picnic and dog walking spot by the water, before edging on to the ice.
Lothian and Borders Police said it was 'an example of the type of stupidity' that they were dealing with thanks to the winter weather.

Must've had brain freeze ... check out the rest of the photos, brrrrrr
I bet the atmosphere in the car was [I]chilly.
[/I]I suck at this.
They were lucky to be fine after this, but still, it would've been hilarious to watch.
Going to court for it? That's cold
ban cars
The police need to chill out
I guess the Police have the cold shoulder for the drivers.

Chill out dude.
pretty cool stuff
Does it make them feel good to call the drivers 'stupid' repeatedly?
I felt cold just by looking at those pictures.
In situations like this the police just have to keep cool.
I bet that motorist thought he was pretty cool for doing that.
Driving on the ice is cool.

Well that depends on where you live. Not to be recommended when you're not knowledgeable of the thickness of the ice and such
Ice to see that they're still alive.

good one
I was under the impression that you're allowed to drive on ice, and if your car goes through it's your responsibility to pay to have it salvaged. That's how it is up here.
I guess the Eskimos will be fishing for something metallic this time.
