Detroit driving instructor catches dangerous stunt on camera on I-94
A dangerous stunt allegedly involving alcohol was caught on camera by a Detroit driving instructor.
Driver's ed instructor Korey Batey took the video.
Batey uses Meta Ray-Ban glasses and, with students' permission, he creates social media content with humor.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Driving around Metro Detroit can have its moments, with construction, excessive speeders, and even a couple of guys trying to share a cocktail in the middle of the highway.
What they're saying
If roads could talk, these Detroit highways would have some stories to tell, but this story FOX 2 has learned was caught on camera by a content creator/driving instructor.
In the video, viewers can see two vehicles next to each other driving ahead of the instructor. The one on the left, a passenger tries to pour liquor into the other driver's cup in the middle of I-94, on the east side of Detroit.
Driver's ed instructor Korey Batey took the video.
"I could have been easily looking at the cell phone and looked up, and hit them," he said. "I just say, 'hey Meta, record.'"
Dig deeper
Batey uses Meta Ray-Ban glasses and, with students' permission, he creates social media content with humor.
"I really try to take my time with them, show some grace, but I'm also very stern, because this isn't GTA, this is real life," he said.
Having a little fun and hopefully sharing some driving wisdom is what Batey is all about. Meanwhile, it is something the two he caught on camera may need more of.
"What I'd like to tell them is that it only takes one moment like that to change your life forever," he said.
Batey thinks maybe they were trying to make some kind of content of their own with the stunt; regardless, it's dangerous from top to bottom.

Vancouver council to decide whether to ban sale of gun-shaped lighters in the city
Vancouver city staff are recommending council ban the sale of gun-shaped lighters in the city. On Wednesday, council will vote on the proposal from the city's chief licence inspector after the matter was raised in a motion from councillor Mike Klassen. A ban would come with a $1,000 fine for non compliance. Staff are also asking that a letter be sent to the provincial government calling for legislative amendments to make the ban provincewide. 'Staff recommend amending the licence bylaw to prohibit the retail sale of gun-shaped lighters as a measure to increase public safety and limit an increase in the number of devices in circulation,' the report to council states. 'Staff propose an amendment to the Ticket Offences bylaw to make the sale of GSLs a ticketable offence with a fine of $1,000. Staff also propose that the mayor, on behalf of council, write a letter to the provincial government requesting legislative amendments to prohibit the sale, distribution, and possession of GSLs in British Columbia, as well as consider legislative changes to empower law enforcement to seize these devices proactively and prevent their continued proliferation in communities across the province.' A gun-shaped lighter is defined as a hand-held device that produces a flame, resembles a firearm, and includes an igniter or trigger, barrel and stock. This includes torch style lighters that look like a firearm due to the shape of the barrel and/or handle. There were 162 police calls about the lighters last year, more than half of which were classified as 'priority weapons calls' — meaning they led to a response involving several officers armed with Tasers, less-lethal beanbag shotguns and Arwen riot guns.

Palestine Action terror ban made UK ‘international outlier', High Court told
Banning Palestine Action as a terror organisation had the hallmarks of a 'blatant abuse of power' and made the UK an 'international outlier', the High Court has heard. The group's co-founder Huda Ammori is making a bid to legally challenge Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's decision to proscribe the group under anti-terror laws, announced after the group claimed an action which saw two Voyager planes damaged at RAF Brize Norton on June 20. The ban means that membership of, or support for, the direct action group is now a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. On July 4, Ms Ammori failed in a High Court bid to temporarily block the ban coming into effect, with the Court of Appeal dismissing a challenge over that decision less than two hours before the proscription came into force on July 5. The case returned to the High Court in London on Monday, where lawyers for Ms Ammori asked a judge to grant the green light for a full legal challenge against the decision to ban the group, saying it was an 'unlawful interference' with freedom of expression. Raza Husain KC said: 'We say the proscription of Palestine Action is repugnant to the tradition of the common law and contrary to the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights).' The barrister continued: 'The decision is so extreme as to render the UK an international outlier.' Mr Husain added: 'The decision to proscribe Palestine Action had the hallmarks of an authoritarian and blatant abuse of power.' 'The consequences are not just limited to arrest,' Mr Husain later said, telling the court there was 'rampant uncertainty' in the aftermath of the ban. Blinne Ni Ghralaigh KC, also for Ms Ammori, later said: 'The impacts (of proscription) have already been significant.' She continued: 'Dozens and dozens of people have been arrested for protesting, seated and mostly silent protest.' The Home Office is defending the legal challenge. Previously, Ben Watson KC, for the Home Office, said Palestine Action could challenge the Home Secretary's decision at the Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission (POAC), a specialist tribunal, rather than at the High Court. However, Mr Husain told the court on Monday that the POAC was not 'convenient nor effective' in this case. He continued: 'It would be quite absurd to say that we should tolerate the consequences of the proscription… even if it is unlawful, and just go to POAC. 'That is an absurd position.' Ms Cooper announced plans to proscribe Palestine Action on June 23, stating that the vandalism of the two planes, which police said caused an estimated £7 million of damage, was 'disgraceful'. More than 100 people were arrested across the country during demonstrations this weekend protesting against the proscription, with protests held in London, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and Truro on Saturday. Saturday's arrests brought the total number of people arrested since the ban came into force to more than 200, with more than 72 arrested across the UK last weekend and 29 the week before. The hearing before Mr Justice Chamberlain is due to conclude on Monday. A decision may be given at the end of the hearing, or in writing at a later date.

Europe's New Sanctions on Russian Diesel Won't Hit Until January
The European Union said a new set of measures aimed at restricting the flow of fuel made from Russian crude won't take effect until January, easing some concerns that they would tighten an already strong diesel market. In legal texts published over the weekend, the EU said the ban will take effect on Jan. 21 next year. It followed an announcement Friday that the group would press ahead with a ban on the import of refined products, most notably diesel, that are produced in third countries using Russian crude.
