Ah.. don't hate Mr. Murdoc. ;D

Remember, drinking and driving is also something that falls under situational differences. One man might get drunk, having no control of themselves, and drive like an obvious drunk. While another is completely in control and no one is the wiser.

Is the man who drives fine and gets pulled over for their temp. tag falling off the back window as evil as the man who's weaving into oncoming traffic? I'm not trying to justify it, I just believe everyone has a story that changes how much salt you should apply to their legal wounds. O0

Ah, Timmy.. what did you get yourself into :-\

Re: DUI by state?
 

whether someone drives like they're not drunk is not the point. there is one fact that is true for both parties (drunks that drive drunk, and drunks that don't) ...alcohol lowers your reaction time considerably.

end of story.

so whether you're careening out of control down the interstate, or coming up to an intersection where little johnny didn't hear his mommy tell him to wait and you run him over because you weren't able to react as fast as you could have had you been sober, alert and aware of ALL of your surroundings, isn't really the issue.

drunk driving is drunk driving. and i personally find it dispicable when anyone does it. including my own friends, bf and family members etc. >:(

.....................

and to the thread starter, if you're the one with the DUI and looking for a way out of it. you're a ------- leech. deal with your consequences like a man, don't drink and drive, and maybe you won't find yourself crying on the internet asking strangers for ways to get out of your DUI that you so obviously deserve. >:(

Re: DUI by state?
 

There are people out there that have slower reaction times sober than some people do drunk, does this mean they shouldn't be allowed to drive? Ofcourse not, but that means this situation isn't so cut and dry.

Moral view should not obstruct reality and stop things from having depth. If you say a drunk is a drunk then you must believe a murderer is a murderer. The person who accidentally kills a guy riding his bicycle is no better than the man who stalks a teenager and drags her into a back alley to slash her throat. They both show different intent and forms of similar situations, but as vastly different when taken in context.

Like I said, no sane person will ever condone the action of drinking and driving. But once you want to judge severity, either you're a god or a dictator, you see the situation as its own experience or you throw it all in a single reality you've created..
