Life GD Drunk Drivers - Page 2

Had one plow through my front lawn around 3:10 this morning. I hoped out of bed and grabbed my wallet & phone and went off after them. Found the car in an apartment complex parking lot torn to shreds.

Called 911, gave the tag number, description of driver, and 40 minutes later not a cop to be found anywhere.

The problem with that is if your super duper reinforced immovable mailbox caused an injury in any way, you could be held liable. I was going to do something similar when my mother in law was getting her mailbox ran down at the rate of once per year but was advised not to. So instead I bought a small boulder to set next to it, one with a nice sharp point on the top. I figured it was small enough that it wouldn't hurt anyone, but it would at least take out a tire if someone decided to run it down. It's been six years since I did it and that mailbox is still standing. Although it didn't stop someone from crashing into her house a couple years later.

Meh, if they don't want to get hurt, don't run into the ****ing mailbox.

Yeah, common sense would tell you that, but in our litigious society you can't take the chance.

I had a drunk driver run of a fire hydrant in my yard (which was close to the street). It was dislodged and landed in my driveway. My entire yard had car parts all over it.

OP police were able to track the person down in a nearby apartment complex from the damage and paint chips and other parts in my yard.

This person was driving drunk between 8AM and Noon on a weekday, because it happened while I was gone at work and I noticed it when I got home from lunch.

I did learn one thing from it though, fire hydrants do not spray water everywhere when they are ran over. They have a safety valve......

Drunk Driving is baaaaad, Buzzed Driving is ok

You can probably claim more than $400 just for a broken mailbox from her insurance company. Add some sod work and you can get even more. Do you have any sprinkler heads damaged? What about one small scratch to your sidewalk or driveway? lol
