I've called the police about drunk drivers before. First time was in the late 70s, when I was an assistant Manager at 'the arches'.
It was a late Thursday afternoon, when the drive-through speaker erupted with profanity. Checked with the d-t staff who reported this guy just started cursing. I dashed out the back door to the car and advise the guys if they don't watch their language they won't be served. Three guys with a half-empty flat of beer in the car with them.
Back inside I called the local RCMP detachment and got the NCOIC, he asked if we could hold them there for three minutes. Drive-through orders started coming real slow for a bit, until I saw the police car enter the lot. As the guys were getting their munchies, the sargeant rapped on their passenger window and directed them to "Park it over there." All three got a ride and the car was towed.

When I was growing up on a tricky intersection, 12 miles from the nearest town, I got an early education regarding the results of impaired driving. Almost all of the cars my Dad pulled out of the ditches (or our barnyard) were people who didn't realize their driving skills weren't what they thought they were after several drinks. A couple, for whom the police and a wrecker were called to get the bodies out of the river, never got to sleep it off in our spare room.

I just don't have a lot of tolerance for it.
