Totally Ridiculous

Drunk Driver Kills Highway Worker

 

This is horrible.  One of my biggest pet peeves is drunk driving.  I knew something bad happened that night when i heard the medivac helicopter buzz my house.  Happened less than 2 miles away

That pi$$es me off too.  Why be that stupid?!?!

You know, I think its fair to say that we have all honestly done it at one point as ridiculous as that is... I live in NM which has the highest rate anywhere of DWI related accidents and arrests... Its nearly an every weekend ordeal to hear about this kinda stuff. But, its instances like this that should really open everyones eyes... BE SAFE OUT THERE!  :thumb:

:thumb: Keep it that way!

 

And BTW, Ive never driven "drunk," but there was a time when I shouldnt have been behind the wheel. Im not afraid to admit that.

 

My dads brother was killed by a drunk teenager while he was riding his motorcycle... It all happened before I was born, but I am actually named after my dads brother. Therefore Ive seen how it affects people (my dad) first hand and that has always been my deterrant (at the least!) against doing it...

Kinda off topic, but...

 

Tuesday night I played a role in a drug bust.  This was the drivers 5th citation for driving under suspension.

Unfortunately as I see, these idiots with the poor driving records are going to ignore the rules and get behind the wheel all too often.  Fortunately now our place has newer computers that allow us to run plates and get the info back pretty quick.  We also had a gentleman painting a bridge struck last year on the interstate, as well as 2 other construction related wrecks this year on dayshift.

the ladys B.A.C level was 0.22

 

The legal limit in indiana is 0.08

It's a shame how these people do this repeatedly.

 

When Tom got hit by a drunk driver, who totalled his old truck, the guy was awaiting trial for hitting a county deputy while driving drunk.  The guy was caught again later for another DUI.  This kind of stuff pi$$es me off!!

I agree this is total bulls*%t...my dad was in an accident in his service truck when a drunk driver came into his lane at night.. The guy was in a van so dad was worried that he could possibly kill a family so he takes this T-300 off to the ditch flips in a number of times and screwed his back forever..and here it was drunk drivers we later found out.. So now dad is like son if that happens you stay in your lane and kill'em don't do what I did.

Man, that sucks!  If that's not bad enough, she'll probably get off w/ probation and a driving suspension.

 

This repeat DUI offender thing really steams me too.  Anybody can slip up once, but do it twice, and as far as I'm concerned, they need to throw the book at people like this.

 

BDBWTE, that's a brave thing your dad did - took a lot of quick thinking and guts!!

New Mexico has the highest DUI rate???  I'd think Wisconsin would have it.

 

Like most places that have a gas station on every corner of an intersection, in Wisconsin it's a bar to fuel up at.

c'mon now, there isn't a bar on every corner, just most of them  

[CMNTMXR81]

You're right...it could be a supper club instead...with a bar inside it.
