A Livonian driving force may face driving-like fares after Westland police reported that it saved him from the steering wheel of a burning vehicle.
Police said they were called to the intersection of Ford and Venoy Roads at approximately 12:45 p.m. June 21 because a vehicle made doughnuts.
Upon arrival, they saw a Chevrolet Traverse in the opposite direction in the middle of the roadway.
The driving force wakes up, holds the guide wheel and smiles at the police as it continues to spin, according to a report.
The vehicle then stopped and officials saw smoke coming out of the hood. Smoke flames and fumes, however, the driving force did not need to leave the vehicle and did not appear to be in a transparent intellectual state.
When the officers tried to physically remove the driver, he pulled out a razor blade knife and passed it on to the officers who were looking at him.

The driving force eventually fulfilled “numerous verbal orders” to release the knife. Officers were finally able to remove the 43-year-old driving force from the vehicle, at one point, locking their arms around the guide wheel.
Police handcuffed the driving force and concluded that there was sufficient evidence to arrest him for driving a vehicle under the effects of a controlled substance and driving with a suspended license.
The driving force has been officially charged. The effects of the blood test are pending.
