I have twice had the opportunity to inform authorities about drunk drivers. Once, I called from my cell phone and described all of the information.
Another time I was driving on a two lane road and the person in front of me was swerving all over the road. After a few miles, he slammed on his brakes to a complete stop in the middle of the road for a few seconds, and then peeled out and accelerated forward. I can't say with 100% accuracy if the driver was actually drunk, but I would have put money on it. We eventually passed two cops on the side of the road, so I pulled over, and informed the officers of the driver's behavior. Then, they both began pursuing the car, and after a few miles, the car pulled over.
I have, and always will report drunk drivers to authorities, just like I would report bad posts to moderators if I was in the position.
