Alternatively, people could just make sure they are not driving under the influence, rather than trying to wiggle out of it when they get caught blaming all un sundry except where the blame truly lies, themselves.

A relative of mine paid a very heavy price one upon a time due to somebody's poor driving. The car in the wrong hands is a deadly weapon. I hope the little snake doesn't get away with it.

Drunk drivers should be shot.

My mom lost her sister (and her complete family: husband, unborn baby) due to a drunken driver. I lost my fiance due to a drunken driver. I reserve the right to beat up every f###ing a$$hole who tries to drive drunk under my eyes. And I will give my best in getting that job done, and then some. A warning penalty of 200 euros and one month without license is just too good and means nothing for such imbiciles.

If loss of license messes up that man's life and job - so be it. Nobody told him to act like a caveman.

Needless that I defend nil-promille rules for drivers. If you are to drive, no alcohol. It's the cleanest solution, invulnerable to physical variables, shape of day, moon phase and weather and season.

I just love how some people find things like this amusing. I doubt it would be so funny if it were to happen to you.

Drinking & Driving is deadly and not really a laughing matter IMO.

Actually, in my opinion, .08 level is a little pathetic to use as the defining mark. .1 is probably a better benchmark to use and they used to use it around here. .08 is less than a single beer for some people, and I have yet to see someone drunk off 1 beer or have anything impaired driving wise. Tomorrow, it will be .06.

Anyway, what irks me more than anything about this is, driving with a cell phone is equivalent to blowing a .15 or .2, and yet we tolerate that??!!!

This is another case of PC gone haywire. Yes - if you blow a .1, then you are starting to become impaired and you should hang out till your alc level comes down a bit, or get a cab.

I don't personally know anyone who has been pulled over for drunk driving, but I've had a close call or two with a drunk driver, but this is nothing because I CAN'T COUNT HOW MANY TIMES I'VE ALMOST BEEN KILLED BY A CELL PHONE USER!!!!

Quit being so serious. Drunk Driving is not a laughing matter, unless someone makes a joke out of it - but this has nothing to do with condoning such behavior.

People around here need to lighten up a little. Maybe it's time I find some more jokes to post.
