Given the position of the wipers he was washing his car?

No doubt he was miraculously saved from harm by the dash board amulets..maybe though if the cuddly toys, nodding dogs and other clutter on the dashboard was removed he could have seen where he was going ! ????

One question: How drunk was he ???

.....gently slipped into lake......but "plunges" does make for a better read I guess.
