Two drunk, unlicensed drivers arrested driving the same vehicle minutes apart.

Sounds like a bit of police incompetence in Australia's Northern Territory.

According to the NT News, the cops first pulled over the Toyota Hilux pickup truck for speeding in the town of Patterson at around 10pm last night. The 22-year-old female driver, who only had a learner's permit, was reportedly doing 100km/h (62 mp/h) in an 80km/h (49 mp/h) zone and gave a .112 on her roadside breathalyzer reading.

Then 15 minutes later, police again pulled over the same truck about 17 kilometers (10.5 miles) away, in the town of Tivendale. This time it seems an unlicensed 27-year-old man was driving and his test returned a reading of .203.

Now, how could the same vehicle be pulled over by police 15 minutes later unless the police let the drunker of the two take off in the truck after the first stop?

Unfortunately, the NT News article sheds no light on this, whatsoever.
