so, the lesson is, if you find yourself too drunk to drive while you're driving, stop, get outta da car and go crash under a tree or somethin till you sober up... 😟

Bzzzzt. Try again. They did the right thing AFTER doing the wrong thing. They were DUI until they pulled over.

Arrested for DUI in Jupiter Florida.

I don't understand the need to drive drunk when you're a gazillionaire. You can afford a cab, a limo, uber... hell a damn tow truck to take your car home.

I think the guy has gone off the deep end.

There is no option for driving impaired other than not driving.

If you cannot control your drinking, don't dive to get a drink. If drinking requires transportation and you cannot afford a cab, Uber or someone to drive you, you don't get to drink.

Plan your transportation or lodging before you drink? Especially if you know you'll be indulging.

It really isn't that difficult.

What about the guy who goes to see a band play at the local Holiday Inn Lodge......when leaving decides he had to much to drink, so he climbs into the back seat to sleep it off, in the parking lot. Before going to sleep he puts keys in ignition so he won't lose them, and to listen to the radio. Police show up for some reason, I think someone called them, and he is arrested for DUI because the keys were in the ignition.
I know, many wrongs here.........He couldn't afford a room, shouldn't have put keys in ignition, etc.
But he was doing the right thing.......wasn't driving drunk.......he wasn't even in the front seat and the vehicle wasn't running........pretty expensive hit for doing the right thing...........next time maybe he figures he'll try to get home.....doing the right thing cost him just as much as if he had gotten caught driving home

Re: 48

Even a sh*tty lawyer would get those charges dismissed. Some cops get a little overzealous, or decide to err on the side of caution. An arrest should not be made unless all the elements of the crime have been met. In the case you present... too many holes.

However... lets say the cop finds the guy like that. The report is in the system, because he's gonna run the plate and the name for wants/warrants. If the guy decides to drive away 5 minutes after the cop leaves, and he wrecks and kills someone, people are gonna want to know why he was not arrested.

In such instances, what is usually done is the guy gets transported to the jail to sober up, but he gets "849'ed", which means there are no charges, and he will be released as soon as medical staff deems he is sober.

No citation, no charges... and nobody gets hurt.

Do you suffer from cognitive impairment? We are not talking about a perfect world. We are talking about someone who finds themselves behind the wheel, drunk. Should they keep driving or pull over?

Perhaps this will help with your comprehension:

___ Yes they should keep driving

___ No they should pull over

There are the two choices. Please check one box. Do you think you will have difficulty with this simple analysis?

Sure. Or -- much more common by a factor of 1000 -- the guy who climbs behind the wheel hammered, goes a little ways, then suddenly realizes "Oh sh1t I'm way bombed."

I know that if one lives in a basement it's difficult to imagine that happening, but trust me, in the real world it's not what you would call "rare."
