I am never drinking and driving again - Page 7

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.

Well, a lot of the things I do in the Mustang would be risky in normal cars, not this one. God, I love that effortless power.

It doesn't matter what you think is legal for some and legal for others... if someone has 3 or 4 beers or a couple of Maker Mark drinks and slams into your mother... you won't care if the guy was a 6'10 and 300 lb dude that "can handle" a six pack with ease, or a 5'5 and 120 lb college kid.

It has taken me a long time to drill this into my way of thinking. I was extremely lucky during my college days and my 20's. The thing about luck is that it eventually runs out.

Good thing I didn't get pulled over in Denver, they would have killed my dog. Bastards.

Hey, if you don't like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk.

My advice as your BB legal adviser is too not answer this question. I fear Kotter is a NARC.

Really, we have 5 cars and they all have it. The only thing that varies is the interval between beeps. For example on the Toyota, it beeps initially for about 10 seconds then it stops then a minute later it beeps again, onward forever. However, you cannot realistically even drive without it around here so everyone is used to wearing them. Enforcement is heavy and fines range from $50 to as much as $250 depending on where you get busted for it. I guarandamntee you will be busted out here, the worst thing is it puts a point on your license which raises your insurance rates.

Speaking of which I had a friend bring me a flyer produced by the Mexican government yesterday that shows their citizens how to get into our country.

No chit, taking corners that would flip other cars but you take effortlessly. Pretty cool. I'd recommend that every planeteer get theirselfs one.

Did they give you the test where you drop your pants down to your ankles and bend over the back of the police car??

HMc · 05-08-2007, 12:24 AM

Fine in my state for the driver not wearingis $231. Then it goes up if passengers arent wearing em either. Worst case scenario, you're not wearing and you've got 4 or more passengers who aren't wearing, you're looking at $1205 for the driver and $231 for each passenger. The passenger fines are written up against the passengers themselves.
