How many of yall got a dui before????????

I never got one before but all I can say is that if you live in North Carolina you don't want to get one. That would be the most expensive drinks you've ever had.

fukk the law. don't get caught ever. also, it's at the officer's discretion. been breathalized and blew a .09 after driving for an hour. dude told me to walk it off. however, i was already stopped at gas station and he was just messing with me because he was bored. *the story is actually waaaaaaay more fukked up than that but i won't go into detail.

Good, DUI's are no joke.

Getting one here in Onario is a criminal offense

So do safer cars but whatever

There go some numbers just from the year before and after Australia dropped the BAC limit, so they're driving essentially the same cars.

In just one year, they reduced the number of alcohol related crashes, and also reduced the percentage of people who drive at the ridiculous high levels that even @DrunkenNovice agrees are dangerously high.

:leon: Crazy, isn't it?

and those are acceptable numbers to you? :what:

not saying its acceptable, just saying that's the level where I consider people are "drunk".

Like I said I understand the intent, but really all its doing is implicating people who aren't really "drunk driving".

You can scare people out of driving at extremely high levels by increasing the severity of penalties for getting caught driving at the higher levels, rather than just broadening the range of illegality.

Most states already have extra penalties for excessive BAC. Problem is many will never truly guess how much will put them at certain limits.

And at just .08, the risk of a crash is already estimated at about 2-3 times higher, so I don't see how you can say it's not that big of a deal.

Wheres the balance in this country or world ? They raise something that costs thousands per person if caught and dont lower the price else where..

They want to lower it to .05 but dont want to lower costs of gas/taxis ? So fukk the public right ? All this encouragement to find taxis but they are expensive as fukk.

I was in Vegas it was $20 to drive 2 fukking miles :what:
in San Francisco its about $10-20 everytime you sit in a taxi and thats only if you drive a few blocks, if you trying to take a taxi from frisco to oakland its gonna be $60-100
