As China began implementing new stringent rules against drunk driving, an intoxicated driver bit the hand of a police officer to avoid an alcohol test in China's Shanxi province.

The man, surnamed Hao, is being charged with dangerous driving after a breath alcohol test showed that his alcohol level was at 129 milligrammes per 100 millilitres of blood, exceeding the legal threshold of 80 milligrammes of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood, municipal traffic police said.
