So it starts at 2:00am....I'm on my way home from the bar...I get stopped at a DUI check point and get nailed for .09 and the limit is .08...no fine or anything thank god but I'm standing outside waiting till 5:30am so I can get the keys to the supra so I can make it to the englishtown nj meet!

Epic fail but it could be worse....it's so cold out!

Unfortunately Australia has all the hot women in the world, and to make our women seem equal we must drink in order to achieve that.

That's all well and good, but it still doesn't answer my question on why people feel the need to drive after having a drink and risk not only their lives, but those of everyone else on the road.

Some people "recover" faster. 1 drink per hour is a rule of thumb. People do not own breathalyzers, so they cannot gauge their BAC level - they can only go by what they feel. When you feel like you are good to drive, sometimes you may not be. How about people who have not slept in a certain amount of hours? Technically, that is driving impaired as well, and to the same degree at which he was caught - but there is no test or legal precedence for driving impaired in that way.

That there is an even more epic fail :nono:

How about taking from the experience to maybe have 1 less drink in the same time frame rather than feel like a victim and think of an alternate route...

.

Drinking and driving is one the most preventable and dangerous crimes that the US faces, IMO.

You're lucky you are not in jail. Maybe you should have been judging by your current attitude...

Don't do it again. Take a freaking taxi or bus.

I think our bal has to be over .1 here in which case you wouldn't have been drunk, but I think these rednecks here were drinking bud light out of their bottle while in the crib. I'm glad you didn't get hit with a massive fine, and I'm also glad you didn't kill yourself or anyone else, but you really should use this as a learning experience. The next time you may not get so lucky. Good luck.


The beer goggle theory was just proven to be a hoax also. Men get more finiky after drinking according to a recent study. They simply use the beer goggles as an excuse to go home with someone ugly just so they can get some puntain.

Good to hear that the cops was in a chipper mood, and let you off!!!

So did they impound your sup and just make you pick it up in the morning or just leave it locked on the side of the road with you out side of it and the cop said "I'll come back after my shift ends and give you your keys back."

law would've came down hard on you here in Indiana...I would've only had 2 drink, maybe 3 small bottles but that over a good duration of time. To date, I haven't had any drinks since early last year...

Guess nobody noticed that he passed the field sobriety test, but failed the breathalizer...

Some people have a better tolerance than others, and it's been proven that people aren't always impared, that's why the tests where created.

I'm sure if he had failed the tests he'd be sitting in jail right now...

Also, Texas was a .1 state for a very long time, lowering the limit hasn't done jack...

Fucking moron. Stay off the fucking road when you drink, you fucking immature cunt.

way to abuse your authority here....i love you so very much too!

you seem to look past the fact that i passed the field sobriety test....and that like 3 hours later i was back in the police station gettin the keys to my supra....i was far..far far far far from drunk..i felt just fine..

and please dont act like your shit dont stink....tellin me that youve never driven at times where maybe just maybe you shouldnt have is complete bullshit theresa.

i honestly believe the only reason they even wanted to test me is cause my speach is kinda slurred cause i got my tongue pierced last sunday....if i really was a danger and did some so very bad then jesus id be in fuckin jail sweet cheeks! look at the big picture....im here...i made it too the meet....i have no fines....im good to go....they only took my keys cause its a liability as if someone where to hit me by chance then automaticly it would be my fault and i could sue them or my family could sue them cause they didnt take my keys....

your attack on me was not called for Ms. honeybunchesofoats as i never attacked anyone.....must be super duper to be able to make rules that dont apply to you.

No need to play nice.

People that drink and drive are bloody idiots and deserved to be told off.

I can't believe how high your BAC limits are over there... They're a fucking joke!

Idk what your talking about .08 is low as far as im concerned.

Just an observation lil miss, but everytime i come across you on a forum, your pissed of about something. Am I just catching your at a bad time or are you always angry?

inversely,

gaboonviper85, not saying your right or wrong, but when you start a thread titled I fail on an epic level, your kind of asking for people to talk shit to you.

Lewis: Voicing an opinion and being pissed off are two very different things, mate ;)

You have obviously only ventured into the street racing and drink driving threads, as those are two things I am very passionate about.

The BAC limit here is 0.05...
