First: good that none of the passengers got hurt - not good that the drunk driver didn't.

The irony however lies elsewhere.
According to Bubblehead, if the cops would have stopped the driver before the accident it would have been "government extortion" - also refusing to do a sobriety test is an advice he gave in the very same thread I quote:

so: the car is no wreck, but only got bumped into, a cab should have been called...
