It's weird how anyone can justify drinking and driving these days. Really, it's one of the utmost in selfish behaviors and showcases the damage alcohol does to rational thinking.

Is your TV broke?

Lashing out after a brief second of realization that your drinking problem isn't glamorous?

Have you ever been fishing in your life or is this the only place you can talk to someone because it's easy to log in?

What I can't figure out is why people with multiple DUI's are allowed to continue to buy alcohol. Seems it would be easy to require drivers licenses or state ID to buy and then color or put a note on any id they have. Make it against the law for them to buy or be served.
I saw an older guy that was passed out at a light and got him to pull over. He kept saying, "It's ok, I will be alright tomorrow." I got the feeling something went wrong and he relapsed. He knew he was real drunk, but didn't know what to do. I told him that the police were on the way and that he should call someone or let me drive him home. He tried to call but got no answer, and refused to let me drive him home. We stood there for 15 minutes until a trooper final came and arrested him. She told me they had over twenty 911 calls on him and that she thought it was his 6th DUI. At any time he could have just walked back to his car and left. I actually felt sorry for him. If we believe it is a disease, why does the state help facilitate.

This dude was smoking weed but yeah,in your rational mind it's easy to say that. But if you are an alcoholic and in a blackout who's making those decisions? That happens a lot. Or people thinking they only had a couple of beers or drinks,and they feel fine. Their motor skills are impaired . FYI I have never drank and drove. I have been in vehicles where others did,and we were young,drunk,stupid,and lucky nobody got hurt or killed. It's a huge problem.

It is a problem not easily solved.

in Wa State if you blow over or refuse the breath test they will punch your license making it void for purchase of alchohol, tobacco, firearms, ammunition, and anything else that requires ID...

your right, i was wrong, its still an acceptable form of ID for purchasing alchohol..

but,

ive seen people get denied and refused service, so i guess it could be up to the business owners at that point wether they want to serve them or not....

i dont know why i thought it made it invalid for anything other than personal identification...

my bad..

your license is suspended for 90 days however, and all DUI convictions require a interlock machine aka blow and go... atleast thats what the company that makes and installs them says...

From what I can tell, more people die in DUI accidents every year than are murdered (regardless of the weapon). So why do we restrict felons from weapons, have back ground checks, a huge range of gun laws and restrictions, but allow those convicted of DUI's to continue to buy alcohol ( or Marijuana). Always been a quandary for me, as it would be so simple to at least restrict it some. All the laws try to stop driving, not drinking. For me its like telling a felon they can have the gun and bullets, but that its illegal to take it off their property. It just isn't going to have the desired effect.

Because...money.

Dude could have killed an innocent person.

Pothead better figure it out and get his selfish issues resolved.

Non drinker and I don't fish much in the winter, instead I spend money maintaining a jet boat so I'm ready for springers.
But thanks for asking you douchnozzel.

Are you dehydrated?

My co-workers wife was charged with DUI in Snohomish Co even though she was below the legal limit. If I remember correctly, she was at .04.
It ended up costing them over $5k to get it reduced.

Weird, while what you say is true, I don't know anybody that tries to justify it, do you?

Yes. All of the people who selfishly choose to drink and drive because "they drive better, they're fine, they can hold their liquor, they don't care about other's, it won't happen to them, etc" are justifying their behavior by getting behind the wheel when they shouldn't. Is there something confusing to you in that?

Again, who here is trying to justify drinking and driving?

You must run with a different crowd than I do.

I know people who say they know people who say that...I just don't know anyone that says that.

That is all.

F4B, is there any significance to this post or nah?

I didn't say it was anyone here but you know as well as I do that a lot of people thinks it's just fine to drink and drive. I guess until you have a serious drunk driving accident or fatality happen "close to home" it's just fodder for arguing on a stupid website.

I agree with what you are saying, nobody should be driving, running a boat or flying a aircraft under the influence of any debilitating substance.

What a lot of people don't understand when it comes to enacting stricter DUI laws is the economy of DUI. Having sat in meetings with legislatures and watching all of the competing interests in changing DUI laws, it is apparent that there is a number of groups who make money and rely on their existence by influencing law makers not to tighten the noose too much on offenders. You have the treatment lobby that wants to see more people funneled into treatment. Then you have the defense attorneys who lobby for favorable laws that will help their interests, then bar and restaurant owners; add to that prosecutors, law enforcement, and others, you have a number of very distinct and different interests impacting DUI laws, some of whom make their living or depend on their existence by swaying legislators their way.

Add to this, many legislators and even jurors know, "There by the grace of God go I". In other words lots of otherwise upstanding people have driven after drinking and can sympathize with others who have done the same.

I have a very good friend in Germany who is a Police Officer in Bavaria and worked traffic on the autobahn for many years. The penalties are so strict and the chances of being caught are so much higher that you don't see many people driving after drinking, its just not something you will see most people do, and this is true through most of Europe.

Be careful in Canada, especially British Columbia where they have a tiered system of DUI, starting at .02, where you can have your license taken away and your car impounded with only one beer in your system. They are also very effective at utilizing roadblock DUI checkpoints to catch offenders and the locals know it, and it creates quite a deterrent and for Americans, any DUI conviction will ban you from travel to Canada.

Strict laws and enforcement techniques such as random check points work, but you won't see it in Washington, especially check points, because the Washington Constitution doesn't allow for them.

So basically people have selfish interests justifying the existing DUI laws.

That is true for certain groups and I think you can figure out who they are, but there other groups who have fought for stricter DUI laws who have other's self interest at heart.

That tells you everything you need to know about how that selfish cvnt was raised.

Yup.
They rear em different in C'attle.
