Young man stop dodging. It has nothing to do with any drinking at the time of the incident. What was your insurance status on the ladies car at the time?
Your rant about later mandatory requirements drunk drivers have to follow does kinda give the game away. Plus of course there are only really two categories of people who have a problem with drink driving laws.

Let me repeat the question that you are desperately trying to dodge.
Indeed, but the question is, did you have a right to be there in the first place?
Did your girlfriends car have its insurance loaded to cover your DUI?
If not then you had no right to be sitting where you was sitting.

I think it best...
 

You do your drinking at home.:D

Every what a episode of COPS? Plenty of legals do the same thing as noted above. :yep:

But hey, the fix is coming courtesy of the GOP.

Yeah both parties want the votes and they see that giving some form of amnesty will help them land many down the road.So this problem(the problem of illegal immigration) will never be solved by a political party.Of course if companies where not giving illegals jobs in the first place there would be a lot less of them.

I agree as well drunk driving is an issue completely separate from illegal immigration.

Agreed but some obviously jump at the opportunity of knitting them together.

What do you mean insurance loaded to cover my DUI? That makes no sense, I was not drinking at time of the incident as you are clearly trying to say in the above sentence.

Of course I had the right to be there.I was in the city, state, and country in which I legally reside.I was in a clearly marked parking space.The insurance on her car covers anyone she gives permission to operate it unless they are specifically excluded on her policy.I had not one drop of alcohol in my system.I am dodging no question, you are simply trying to start an argument to divert from the topic, mostly due to your personal issues with me, stop, really.

Legals do it, but they have to right to be in the country, this idiot who hit us did not, there is a difference.I am sure if it happened to you, would change your tune.

The two subjects are only related in cases where a State is giving illegals drivers licenses, such as California.

Illegal immigrants can get driver's licenses under new California law

Illegal immigration has gone on for so long, that in some areas, Politicians are now forced to pander to them for votes. (Wait, what?! :haha: ) But aside from the issue of citizenship privledges like a drivers license to non-citizens, drunk driving isn't related.

As to illegal immigration itself, so that those accross the pond might understand why this is a bugbear for some:

- economically its a problem because they undercut wages, and causes a strain to entitlements without contribution in the form of taxes.
- Politically and socially its a problem because in the case of illegals crossing from the southern border, 8 or 9 times out of 10, they do not integrate into our society. That, is the real crux of the problem at the end of the day.It's not the color of their skin, it's what they do.

Personally, I judge by actions seen. To best understand, let me explain it at a baser level:

Let's say your at your home in the evening cooking dinner. Then out of nowhere, this rather large family has dropped by unannounced. You look out your front door, and you see one of them using your garden hose (and hence your water) to wash their car in your driveway, without asking. Then you see their kids running riot, coloring all over your houses walls with crayons, while "cute", you have paper for that. Turning around into the backyard, you see a few have started using your propane to grill and have started cooking in your backyard. While it smells good, you didn't recall saying it was ok to use your propane, and in fact, you normally use charcoal for this purpose. Your own dinner being almost ready to eat, you set your own table. Your uninvited guests have then set themselves at your table, and then demand you say grace at your own table when it is not your custom to doing so. Would you not be a little angry? Now expand that in scale, from your house, to your country, and there you have it. It's the lack of intergration into the metaphorical household.

Yeah but the laws of this country apply to anyone present here not just a citizen as is the case in most every other nation so far as I am aware.
So the guy was an illegal he'll most likely serve jail time for the DUI ICE will also more than likely charge him with being in the country illegally and depending on the situation he'll be sent back to Mexico and he may or may not serve jail time for being an illegal first.


I am not an expert on the CA law but I have no doubt that the federal laws supersede anything that CA allows so ICE will still go after any illegal even if they have a CA drivers license.I suspect that the driving force(pun intended) behind the CA drivers for illegals was insurance companies gives them more customers if illegals can get a license because then they have to have some kind of insurance.That and people want votes which is why it had strong support from Republicans according to that article.

We have similar problems here in the UK and proportionately it would be interesting to know which of our respective countries problems are the largest.

The point I'm trying to make is that DUI offences (using US terminology) happen regardless of whether the offending party is illegal or otherwise.

I fail to see the correlation between the two.

No I wouldn't. There are plenty of under insured or not insured legals driving jalopies that an illegal hitting my car would be a breath of fresh air. There is a reason I pay additional for under-insured motorist. Legal or not.

Would it made a difference if he was here on vacation driving a rental car?

I suspect...only if he were an 'illegal'.

Still dodging:haha:
Come on bubbles was her policy loaded?
The only thing that matters "at the time" is her specific insurance policy and you being the person in the drivers seat.
So was her policy loaded with that premium which hits drink drivers in the pocket that you complain about?

Immigrant or citizen status are entirely irrelevant, this is about laws of the road, specifically the laws regarding insurance.

Bingo:yeah:
So what categories of people are specifically excluded:hmmm:
Its pretty standard fare, so are you one of those people who as standard would be excluded?
You keep on harping about not drinking "at that time" but drinking "at that time" is entirely irrelevant.

Damnit, Tribesman, if you are insinuating that he's got a history of DUI, just say it. If you have evidence that he's covering up something, show it.

Still dodging? I am dodging nothing.The policy covers all drivers except those specifically excluded, ie by name.For example, when I was younger I had a lot of tickets and my parents had to do a driver exclusion for me on their policies for their vehicles for a few years. My girlfriend has no such exclusions, whomever she gives permission to drive as long as they have a valid license is covered.


Yes, the driver's immigration status does matter here, he had no right to even be in the country, and if had secure borders and proper enforcement, he would not have even been here to cause a crash that could have killed us both.


They finally were able to establish his identity, he is an illegal who has been deported once, five years ago.The man is a native of Honduras, has multiple misdemeanor criminal charges and has been arraigned, currently has no bond and is awaiting his next court appearance.I have a meeting with the prosecutor next week and plan to be the biggest pain in the rear to ensure he gets the max and will do my best ot make sure he is deported after, perhaps border will be secured so he can't get back and hurt anyone else who actually belongs here.This weekend going to put together my letters to both Senators, my Congressmen and some media outlets, hoping to to help bring attention to the issue.While it may not do anything, have to try.
