I agree, that's what cabs and the designated driver system is supposed to be doing, taking drunk drivers off the road.

Irresponsible, selfish, reckless, big doofuses, I can go on...

Yeah I hate sharing the road with drunks, especially when I'm HIGH

My sister and my best friend were killed by drunk drivers..seperate incidents..I think they should be charged with 1st degree murder..not vehicular homicide..the people they kill dont get a second chance..why should the drunk driver? :)

APPLAUDS!!! i agree. It sickens me that they can't take the time to find a sober driver or take a cab. If all else fails, sleep in your car. I think the laws need to be stricker. I know that isn't a word but they need to come down on these people hard becuase if they do it once they will do it over and over again, till they kills someone and even then some don't learn their lesson.

I think they are irresponsible, and shouldn't get second chances... they need to be put in a rehab program, and be put in jail if they are caught again after that. At least confined they'll be able to lose the addiction. I saw an accident a few years ago - a whole careful of girls. Thankfully, it was late at night so there wasn't much traffic and nobody was seriously hurt, but those girls - the driver particularly - were so drunk I was surprised they were conscious. In face, one of them almost wasn't. I stopped, got the girls out of the car (which was stuck over a median, partially blocking lanes on both sides of a narrow divided highway), sent other bystanders down the road in each direction to slow and alert other cars, and got the police. Long story short, the girl who had been driving denied it (it wasn't even her car) and I ended up going to court as a police witness to help put her into an alcohol abuse program. The officer I talked to said she would be put in a short program, but there was nothing more they could do unless she was caught again, or unless she killed someone. Seriously, these people have to kill before we can do something about them? That's not right. So many people die in drunk driving accidents... we should get them help before they kill, not after.

I am can't stand it when people drive drunk. When coming home from a party, a good friend should take their keys and drive them home (the designated driver of course). That is a very selfish thing to drive home drunk and not take in consideration of others on the road. They don't even care about their own safety.

You have got that right...but wait until you hear this! My fiance's ex wife and her fiance were obliviated at the time he dropped the children off to her at the end of his weekend visit. We had taken the boy's video game as punishment for bad behavior not long before they left our home. She asked my fiance if the game was in his overnight bag. Seeing the drunken condition she was in, and knowing how she can be when she is not drunk, he said yes ... to avoid a scene in front of the children. He then headed back home, only to find that she was not far behind him in her car and calling his cell at the same time, and while completely wasted. He came into the house and told me that she was coming to the door and then told me why and the condition she was in. Immediatlely I heard a banging on the door. The doorbell then rang continuously and she had got the door open with her banging. I already had the police on the phone. She was outside screaming and carrying on. She even pushed against the door to force entry while my fiance tried to close it shut. The police agreed that she was too intoxicated to drive, but they did not arrest her for drunk driving because...this is the part that you will like... her father is the chief of police in another borough. So the police sat in their car, while she sat in hers, and they contacted her father to pick her up which was an hour later. This was not the first time that she had done this, and we had it officially documented. But this time we went after a PFA and we were denied. So since that did not work, we filed criminal complaints...but get this, the officer did not mention anywhere in the paperwork of her public intoxication, disorderly conduct, or drunk driving! All because she is related to a cop! She even ignored the cops orders to get off of the property and stated that she did not have to because she was a chief's daughter! I cannot seem to get a break on how to pursue this, other than the criminal hearing we have against her next week!
