I am never drinking and driving again

BIG_DADDY · 05-31-2005, 11:33 AM

At least I say that now. Got pulled over for DUI yesterday with my dog in the truck going ballistic. I was getting ready to move so I had been drinking Makers Mark and smoking cigars all day. I must have smelt terrible. The officer immediatly smelled it on me and called for backup. I was right at the intersection of 92 and 101 probably the busiest place I could possible be pulled over. 30 minutes later in what felt like 2 hours in a never ending sobriety tests I drove away. I am thanking my lucky stars today.

Why were you pulled over?

I meant to make a thread about this, but I'm a little too late. Just so everyone knows, this next two weeks is the big national enforcement wave for seat belts, so traffic stops and traffic enforcement are spiking right now. Now is the time to drive slow and safe if you don't normally do so.

Sounds like you weren't really DUI, Big Daddy?

I would have never taken a breathalyzer I'll tell you that much. Smoked the tests though. The other officer even yelled he's fine to the guy giving me the test.

How much is the fine for no seat belt in Cali? In Oklahoma it is $20.

Might as well blame Bob Dole's wife and the auto industry while you're at it.

Who gives a shit that polls prior to the first such law in 1985 showed more than 75% of the population opposed the damned things. If anyone ever needed a case study of the insidious nature of the legislative process, seat belt laws are it.

I hate seat belts and won't wear them.

And while Bob Dole is sitting here at lunch watching another damned seat belt commercial, Bob Dole would like to point out that the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on this enforcement campaign might actually have helped reduce traffic fatalities if it had been spent to FIX THE ****ING ROADS.

The guy I work out with says he was watching the news Friday night and they said California has the highest incarceration rate per capita of anywhere else in the entire world. We also have the highest rate of drug convictions.

May I suggest putting them on if you have had anything to drink?

It's just weird having the cops working for the insurance companies on our tax dollars. Just ain't right.
