Police not amused at drunk driver's smiley


A man who erased his drink-driving record from a police computer and replaced it with a winking "smiley face" graphic ended up with a suspended licence and a fine when police failed to see the funny side.

The 19-year-old computer whiz had been arrested for drunk driving and summoned to appear in court in Besancon, in eastern France, the French daily Liberation reported on Tuesday.
