I aint gonna rant about it, and I wont judge you about it either. I have already lost two friends to drinking and driving maybe their stories will remind you of what you are doing when you turn the key on. Both of them were just over .08, one of them, Ben was also tired from a party he had been at at night. The party was about 2 miles from his home. He thought he'd just sleep it off there. He never made it, Ben ran into a tree a half a mile from home. He died with the steering column of his truck shoved through his chest. The property owner who ran out to help him said that Ben couldnt scream or cry for help, he just was trapped there till he died a half a mile from home. The funeral home had to put a piece of plywood on his chest so the hole would not be evident. Ben Silva was just 19 years old and ready to graduate high school.
Kim was a wild man. I worked with him driving truck for about a year up until his death. On the rare occasions I would have to take his truck out I'd find ladies panties in the floor board and other shit like that. Kim and his girlfriend had been at the bar and had driven home. Kims girlfriend was drunker than Kim from the BAC from the autopsy. I think Kim must have been tired, and thats why he didnt drive. Well Kims girlfriend lost control of her car and they went off a cliff. Kim died on impact. Both of them died a stupid pointless death, but fortunately they did not kill anyone else. Just think about your loved ones, I am sure they want you here. |

Not perfect, but I got my lesson with two dead friends. I did not even get my drivers license till I was 20. I'm happy to say THIS Sally has not driven drunk. Something tells me you need to be doing some soul searching too. |

Just since it hasn't been addressed, he said his buddy lives 1/4 mile away from him but they were driving home from the bar. When he got pulled over, he happened to be only 1/4 mile away from home. No driving distance is specified for the ride from the bar to home. |

I'm not perfect, but I really have never driven a vehicle even remotely impaired with alcohol. Your disbelief that this can happen is silly. Reminds me of my boss who seems to enjoy telling people that she has "never known a single person who went to college and didn't try marijuana at some point". Twice I've been sitting nearby when she told someone that, and I raised my hand and said, "Yes you do, I've never tried it in my life." She just waved me off and said, "I don't believe you." I'd insist that I was telling the truth but she'd continue to deny it and blow me off. I told her it's pretty easy to keep that streak of hers going if she never believes anyone who tells her otherwise.

0 to 60 in a quarter mile is street racing? My car gets to 111 mph in a quarter mile. Now that's street racing. |

The average car doesn't get to 111mph in the quarter mile. I bet you don't race while drunk though. |

Re-read the OP. His buddy lives 1/4 mile away from him. He was following his buddy home from the club. He just so happened to get stopped 1/4 mile away from home. He doesn't say how long the drive was from the club to home, only that it was "open interstate". Not that it makes what he did any better, but I don't think he was street racing. |

Wait till you find out what SR22 insurance is going to cost you, along with the fines and restitution after your next stop. You did a very ridiculously stupid thing, and it will be made clear to you in this thread. If your buddy was sober why didn't you get a ride with him and pick up your car the next morning?

Anyone who drinks then drives is an asshole.
Everyone thinks they are fine to drive, no matter how drunk they are. I knew a guy who got drunk, rolled a rental car off the freeway, 1/4 mile from home. He said he was fine to drive. Even afterwards, he didn't think it was because he was drunk. BTW, it was a rental, because a few days earlier, he had crashed his car while driving drunk, and the cop that showed up didn't notice he was DUI. I hope when you crash you only manage to kill yourself, not some innocent family.

I’ve done dumb things before and had the laws of nature and the laws of man give me a one time pass so I’m not going to be too judgmental about the nature of the Cypher214’s character. I will however be judgmental about his judgment.
1. When you are driving you might have to react to someone else’s screw up at any time. 2. If you don’t react correctly because you are drinking you will probably be considered to be at fault in the wreck. 3. This can mean a trip to the pound me in the ass prison. 4. When you are drinking you don’t have the judgment not to drive. 5. When you are drinking you don’t have the judgment to avoid speeding. (Cops will usually give you 5 or 10 over even if they are in tax collector mode. Cops usually won’t stop you for 15 over unless they are in tax collector mode. At 20 over though they will come after you.) 6. Therefore you should just cut alcohol completely out of your life. Got beer? Pour it out right now. Alcohol will cause you nothing but problems in your life. (Yes, some people can drink responsibly. But Cypher, you ain’t one of those people.) |

I bet posting this seemed like a good idea at the time...
OTOH, maybe he posted due to the need to be punished. Subconsciously, he knows what he did was wrong, and needs a group of peers to berate him for his idiocy. |

YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE
You already drive over the limit like a jackass, so you decide to drive drunk on top of it? Three tickets in 12 months mean you would be loseing your licence down here. If I caught you drunk on top of it you would be in jail. I don't think anyone should be happy that you got away with it. You are the type of person that keeps doing this shit untill you actualy do kill someone.

Lucky doesn't cover it.
Consider this a sign that you need to change how you're doing things. If it weren't for the deputy being cool, you'd be in a world of hurt right now. I wouldn't talk about it much, either. The guy would probably catch a LOT of grief for letting you go. It would be a dick move to repay the guy in this manner. |

Nope, cannot tell you that. Just because I've done it in the past doesn't make it any less STUPID. I did a LOT of stupid shit in my younger days that I'll still call YOU stupid for doing. What I did or didn't do has no bearing on if it is smart to do or not. What the OP did was stupid and he could still be sitting in jail, if the deputy decided to press the issue. I don't do it anymore, because I'm a hell of a lot SMARTER than I used to be. If you or anyone else wants to learn the hard way, by all means do so. Just be sure to come back after you get out of jail, to tell us we were right. (assuming you don't go overboard and kill yourself or anyone else) |

Really? If someone plowed into you and got killed you would still be going to jail for vech homicide. The reason there is a limit on BAC is because at a certain level you are IMPAIRED. How much did you drink in what amount of time? what were the drinks" what were the hours? |

Why? Just because he didn't get slammed by the nice po po who was derelict in not arresting him does not mean he gets a pass for DRIVING drunk. In case you have missed some of the threads around here members of AFCOM have lost family members to drunk drivers.. Now support someone who drove drunk. |

Dude,
You need to take a hard look in the mirror. 1. 3 violations in the last year! 2. Driving after drinking, knowing you are probably over the limit. 3. Your "friend" is driving the short distance to your house so you can follow him. And why didn't you leave your car and get a ride with him? Maybe he was drinking also? Get a cab or walk. 4. Driving 60 in a 40 zone especially after drinking and you don't think your judgement is impaired? WTF! 5. You admit drinking and driving and speeding to a cop that pulls you over and knows your 3 previous traffic violations and he lets you go? WTF is up with that. That is the most irresponsible thing I have heard a cop do in a long time. Those days are long gone, or so I thought. You need to wake up and become responsible before your actions ruin the rest of your life and a bunch of other people's lives. |

Not only a drunk, but a selfish drunk. I'm sure thousands of drunks get behind the wheel and think the same thing only until they end up killing some innocent person who wasn't drunk and selfish. You suck. You should have been arrested and lost your driving license. |

TPS: you are so into the life style you have chosen you don't belive there is any other out there. On top of it you think that everyone that does not make the same stupid mistakes as you is a liar, and dare I say, a wuss. Your mind is warped and you think that anyone that does not agree with your messed up way of thinking is wrong. It is retards like you that commit crimes and find a way to justify it. You have convinced yourself that "everybody does it" so that you can get away with things and not feel bad. If everyone is as screwed up as you then your not a bad person for the crime you commit. Just so you know. I have never driven drunk, not even a little buzzed, and I have never tried any illegal drugs. I haven't even tried any drugs that stupid people think should be legalized. |

that's what a large percentage of DUI people thought. just before that car load of teenagers pulled out in front of them and their slower reaction time a slower decision ability due to the alcohol killed them. yep, your cool. you got lucky. I'm no angel, I have driven drunk before in my youth as well. but now that I'm a cop and have seen just what results from persons just at the limit or just under, I'll NEVER drive with even just one drink in me. |

But I am not a cop. |
