dwi part 2
Published Jul. 3, 2008I blogged a few days ago about getting 2 DWI's in 2005, and accepted full responsibility for my insanity. Most of the comments here were fair and sensible...a couple were not. We all know that 50% of fatal accidents involve alcohol...lots of times there is only a car, a drunk, and a tree involved. So, that means the other 50% are caused by people driving irresponsibly. It does not take a drunk to kill innocent people on the highway. It's called MISDEMEANOR death by vehicle, a $200 fine, and they walk...and continue to drive. Or if they are illegals, they never show up for court. I've been there. This blog will not set well with the pc'ers out there, and I will not get any new friends requests for it. But I have learned my lesson, hurt no one but my wallet and pride. I am allowed to go to the grocery store once a week, and the doctor for appointments, 8am-8pm in my own county only. I can be stopped without cause and will do 60 days in jail if I blow over .04 (2 beers). I will never go easy on drunks, but I have been driving tons of miles for over 30 years, and never even had a simple "accident". We have lots of problems on the highways, drunks are just one part of it. I no longer drink anything and drive. Maybe I can convince some of you crazies on the road to slow down and be less reckless, and the drunks to find alternatives to drinking and driving. Remember, it's 50/50 %.

You are going to be put into the stereotypical hate drunks group that so many of those "We must sterilize society from thoese people," people do.

Good Luck, the penalty is unique because it's a tough lesson that applies to good people too. I've seen an armed bank robber get a lot less on a second offense at the same bank (know that for a fact)but that doesn't mean you're right. It sounds like you're on the right track. That's why I'm home drinking on this stupid computer.

The next step is learning from it & doing whatever it takes to overcome your mistake(s). If someone drinks, eventually, they will get behind the wheel, & that is a fact.

I haven't had a DWI but there are times I should be given a ticket for DWD! I am trying to not use my cell or mess with the kids while driving. I would love for everyone to stop texting while driving!!! How dangerous is that!!!
