Drunk Driving and Getting Away with it!!!

Last Saturday something shocking happened in my life. I was caught by RTO police for drunk driving, but got away with that!!!
Day gone as usual, working in office. While leaving from there, I called my friend Umesh for enquiring further program as it was Saturday night. He told me that our friend Ashwin, who's a DJ at PPs garage pub, got to go at Fiona Pub for playing there, and if he do well, he'll get job there.
So we went to PPs to pick up Ashwin as he don't have his bike. We took beer, one peg each, before leaving for Fiona. But as soon as we headed for next square two policemen caught us and forced to stop our bike. They tried to take my bike keys before listening anything from us. I got little angry rather than fearing for penalty. I started arguing with them and then requesting them to leave us. They were asking us how much alcohol we had taken, but I was firm to say NO, as one peg was nothing as compared. I even offered them little cash on the spot as we were in hurry. But they had some different plans for me, as they refused to take that small amount.

Those policemen were furious on my attitude and took us to nearby police station. They didn't asked anything to my friends, but kept interrogating me and took me alone to another police station of RTO for alcohol testing. On all that way from one police station to another, I kept thinking about the possible options and actions which I may face if found positive in alcohol testing. I was sitting on the back seat of police bike. I had a center fresh chewing gum in my pocket, which I quitely putted in my mouth without being noticed by the rider and kept chewing it till we reached next station.
When I arrived at the next RTO station, I saw another guy being investigated for alcohol testing with some instrument. When he was over, they turned towards me. I was told to blow air through my mouth in that instrument. I did that repeatedly for a while. There was deep fear in my heart that if was found positive in this test, these men are going to sue me. But to my astonishment I was found negative in that test. Center fresh worked well I thought.
I was dropped back, where my friends were waiting for me. Those policemen who caught us looked so disappointed as they had even refused to take small token which we were offering them on the spot they caught us. Now they had to leave us without even a single penny as penalty.
Till all this process 4-5 more friends had gathered at the police station. All of us went to CCD and celebrated this moment with COFFEE and not with LIQUOR!!! :-)
