I know someone that did it once and having to have one of these as a result. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.
“I know someone who only did a murder once and they locked them right up. Suggest you reset your opinions a bit.”
Replace murder with any crime.
If you don’t want to face the consequences, don’t do the action that begets the consequences.
TLDR: don’t fuck around if you don’t wanna find out.
Having a breathalyzer is letting them off easy, they deserve to lose their license
Nope, shouldn't of done it once. Pretty easy to not drink and drive.
I too have never had a time sensitive emergency
What kind of emergency is more important than the lives of people that might be killed by a drunk driver's mistake? And how is it impossible to find an alternative solution?
Where do you guys live? Is it America? Because I kinda feel like in America I'm never surprised that someone drove drunk.
(Especially before Uber.)
What emergency is so time sensitive it's worth killing yourself and a random family for?
The fact that you can't actually think of an emergency is telling.
Still didn't name an emergency worth killing yourself and a random family over
honestly, any emergency that involves hitting you and yours. that's because i don't feel like remembering them. i've been the car that the police pulls over because it's driving erratically and then takes over driving. it's an abstract concept to you. not to me.
Were you drunk or just driving erratically because you were in an emergency?
Also, still didn't name an emergency worth killing yourself and a random family over
because i don't have to tell you about the worst times in my life for your entertainment. read the room you creep
I'm not asking for you to talk about your life, I'm asking you to come up with literally any imaginary event that supports your argument that it's okay to drunk drive under the right circimstamces
just anything that puts you and yours directly in front of the car. not to dodge, to become speed bumps
