Although baffled by how close he came, the drunk driver gave officers clear coordinates of where the collision almost occurred and the perfect opportunity to pursue him.

When an officer stopped the man moments later, the driver immediately realized what he had done.

“Do you know why I stopped you?” the officer asked.
