exactly, it seems alright when idiots kill themselves, but when they kill others that's where the problem is.

Let me add, I'm not pro-alcohol, or pro-drunk driving but I'm kind of sick of the self-righteous hand wringing.

that's why i'm glad some places including BC are having those cell phone while driving legislations. but i think texting while driving is way worse than talking on the phone. cause you are pretty much driving blind.

Holy Cow, I smell a lawsuit for sure!

The cause of both wrecks is clearly 100% the responsibility of the impaired drivers, I'm not trying to say otherwise.

What I'm not understanding is how can you conduct a field sobriety test, arrest a drunk driver, when you have not even secured the scene of the wreck and do not have traffic control in place.

I must be missing something here.
i doubt the drunk drivers would call the police right after a crash. the police would have to rely on other people calling it in. a lot of people don't.


don't drink and drive everyone. take a cab or transit, won't cost you that much. if you see anyone driving really erratically, don't hestitate to call the police!!! they shouldn't be on the road.
