You just end up ruining your car.
I broke mine last night.
Some lessons must be learned by experience I guess. And I'm a GOOD drunk driver!

People who drive drunk should be stabbed in the eye with a rusty screwdriver, have their anal virginity taken by a rhinoceros with the HIV and get cancer of the balls. It's not funny, it's not a joke in any tasteful sense of the word, and if you do it again I hope you run off a cliff and get eaten by a bear while you're still alive.

I'll drink to that! Really, I couldn't agree more.

I wasnt joking. Kodiak or grizzly? Funny you mention the cliff thing. My friend drove off a cliff about 14 years ago and survived. He was sober. I think the rusty screwdriver is a bit too much. The other things I sort of agree with. Can the rhino at least wear a condom?

Yet everyone seems to find speeding acceptable (perhaps not here but everyone I speak to seems to think it is fine).
 I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

This was one of my good friend's sister who was killed by a drunk driver back in junior high. Its trippy to see someone you know on posters.
RIP Tammy.

I lost a tremendous amount of respect for my cousin after he drove while he was drunk, and I've lost respect for TRANSMARINE now, too. It is against the law to drive while drunk. Respect the law, TRANSMARINE. It exists for a reason.
Not to mention, as Carolynanna mentioned, drunk driving has terrible consequences.
Why is it, apparently, SO hard for people to take a cab home or to walk? |

Unfortunately, Ice Cream...and this is in no way intended to excuse myself or take the matter lightly...when people are inebriated, they tend to think they are less likely to err. So, the thought of safely maneuvering through potentially hazardous choices via responsible alternatives simply doesn't exist.Basically it's temporary retardation, which in the long run causes actual retardation if not kept in check. Or death. I admit my guilt fully, and am a very lucky person to have not been injured and to have not injured...and to have caused damage to nothing but my personal vehicle...and to have miraculously escaped the scene without being caught on a street which is notoriously patroled. I was very fortunate in my drunken stupidity. Would I do it again? Absolutely not. In fact, when I bought my new car, I swore never to drive it after drinking. This was 8 months ago. The one time I was not good on my word was all it took. I'm not sure what I even expected starting this post...it was not to brag or even make light of it...that's just how I come off...and I can live without the respect from others. That's easy to accept. It's the respect I currently am devoid of for myself that makes me feel next to worthless and unacceptable.

you're right.
you should NOT drink and drive.
seriously tho - glad you got away with no legal ramifications and no injuries to yourself or others.
cheap (relatively) lesson learned.

You're very lucky nobody was hurt. Then things get more complicated than you can imagine. It sounds like your scenario has a sort of lesson-learned air about it, which you should definately not take for granted. Though it doesn't sound like you are. It shouldn't have to take a first-hand experience with drunk driving to make somebody learn their lesson. Common sense should keep it from having to get that far, but since it did, at least nobody was hurt. The only light at the end of the tunnel for your situation, as far as I can see, is that hopefully those who know you personally will think of your wrecked car and choose not to get behind the wheel after drinking, and avoid hurting or killing somebody innocent.

I know I personally have considered not drinking. I never have. But I understand that drinking is a personal choice for somebody and I respect that. If a guy wants to get plastered at a wedding reception, that's his decision and I'll respect that. It was his decision to get in his car, drive the wrong way down the interstate, and plow head on into my girlfriend and I on an overpass at a combined speed of appx. 155mph and permanently crippling my right arm that I didn't respect. Yeah, I think the world would be a better place if alcohol never existed and mankind had a significantly less destructive-yet-equally-appealing vice. But that's just my view.

There is nothing dangerous about speeding generally (provided it is not much faster than the average speed of traffic), in fact studies have proven the following (which forced our government to reevaluate the way it penalizes speeders):
1) People driving faster tend to be paying better attention and are less likely to be unalert or drowsy, which causes some 85% of accidents give or take.
2) There are no links between increased speed and accident frequency on any level of significance up until a point considered to be 'dangerous driving' generally around 40 km/h faster than posted.
It should also be mentioned that people travelling slower than the general rate of traffic (regardless of the posted limit) are a much more significant danger to themselves and all other drivers on the road.
Just thought I'd throw some stuff in there. As for cell phones, I agree 90% of people are incapable of doing this (and so I'm willing for the 10% to suffer), which I don't understand, but these people also tend to be incapable of driving to begin with in my opinion. I think I'd like to see driving tests that challenge the would-be-driver with more stimuli and really see if this person is all there. Really, so much time is spent on parallel parking, for example, but nothing on the majority of what people do - freeway driving. At least here. Our driving test is a joke.

PS Transmarine, if you're not gloating about it and are in fact ashamed about it and don't want to do it again, I respect you fully, especially for coming here and enduring our various abuses as some form as masochistic karmic realignment. Glad you seem to have learned your lesson.

It's the difference it makes once you crash/hit someone that is the problem.

Very true of course, Mike. But, isn't it better to not hit someone (i.e. be alert/driving more attentively) than to hit them but at the speed limit? I do agree though that once you've accepted that you're going to hit someone, or if we're talking about the situation where something/someone pops out right in front of you and even the most alert person in the world is taken by surprise, then the slower you're going, the better.
I'm just not sure it's realistic to expect people to drive as slow as possible, and I don't think that 10 km/h in either direction makes much change in impact once you get above say 50 km/h anyway. If that's the trade we're making for people being a little more alert, then I'd rather have people driving more alertly (and increase the probability of them seeing me) than 10 or 20 km/h slower and hitting me, but <knock on wood> I've never in 10 years of driving hit anyone or been hit. Well, I've been backed into in a parking lot, but that wasn't exactly the end of the world. Still, I take your point and do agree with you in principle.

Oh yes of course, but can't people both not drink and not speed?

I'm for the re-institution of the law that requires a man waving two flags to run in front of any car that has a woman driving it.
