This Happened To An Englishman

This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally
drunk.
The French policeman stops his car and asks the gentleman if
he has been drinking.
With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been
drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning
to a French man, and that he drank champagne and a few
bottles of wine at the reception and a quite few glasses of
single malt there after.
Quite upset, the policeman proceeds to alcotest (breath test)
him and asks the Englishman if he knows under French Law
why he is going to be arrested.
The Englishman answers with humour: No sir, I do not! But
while we're asking questions, do you know that this is a British
car and my wife is driving... on the other side???
