When the police arrived, it turned out that the man had a muscle disease and was taking medication, the Gooise Meren police reported on Facebook. The driver indicated that he actually did not want to drive anymore. “However, he and his wife were on their own in life and they still had to do their Christmas shopping,” the police said.
That’s why they got in the car after all. An officer decided to help the couple with their Christmas shopping and dropped them off at home with enough food and drinks.
However, the man’s well-intentioned trip was not without consequences: because the man can no longer drive well enough, the police took away his driver’s license. The man can only get this back after a medical examination.
Christmas menu
The police thank bystanders who offered help and, together with the local police officer, will keep in touch with the couple to ensure that they can do their shopping.
The lady did not want to reveal what will ultimately be on the Christmas menu. “After all, that was a surprise for her husband.”
