My friend got one, was literally sleeping in her car because she was too drunk to drive home and got a DUI for being in the car with her keys - they said the intent to drive was there, therefore its dui.

I've always thought that laws allowing this scenario are really fucking stupid.

There are only so many police patrolling so much area and they can't catch everyone or be consistent. It's just not realistic to expect them to when something like two thirds of drivers on any given weekend night are intoxicated.

You're blatantly missing the point. If driving at 0.08 is so dangerous, how are people doing it dozens upon dozens of times without incident?

I know what you mean, but your situation applies when everything is normal.

Not normal is when the roads are icy, or their are .30 drivers on the road, etc.

Those are situations where sober drivers avoid accidents and .08 drivers do not.
 
ive driven drunk hundreds of times and a good third of those times ive been talking to my friends whose house i just left on my cell phone or texting people

i have never gotten a dui or killed somebody but i have ran over a few cats/rodents/trashcans

shit ive been pulled over for blowing red lights after a solid half a fifth of whiskey and the cop came up and asked if i had been drinking and i replied no and he let me go with a warning

So are you arguing for relaxing DUI enforcement in good driving conditions?
 
Coast Guard is the reason I don't own a boat. Their job is to issue tickets in no wake zones and BUI. In just about any form of partying, there's going to be cops busting people for any mistake.

Problem is, the penalty for making any mistake with alcohol is involved is always harsh.

Look at me, let the kid try a jello shot and now I'm banned from Universal. Yet I haven't let the kid try a drink at home. So does that make me a terrible person? No. Yet I'm not supposed to go back there. So now I don't go back to Orlando period. It's like everything in this world that involves fun comes with traps.

I could drunk drive better then a quarter of the asshats on the road that are sober.

Fine the fuck out of people that drive like shit too.

I would tell this to my friends after I'd have a few beers and grab the wheel, but they're asshats and can't drive properly anyway so they never understood. Then one day they all got in the car with me after I'd had a couple rum and cokes without them knowing, we got there, I said OH BTW I'M DRUNK and everyone freaked out because I was driving completely normally and no one noticed for the 25 minutes we were in the car.

If I feel that my ability will at all, in any way, be hampered - I won't drive. Simple as that. I'll walk an hour in a fucking blizzard (like two nights ago) rather than drive and take a risk if I know I'm somewhat affected.

However, unlike the vast majority of asshats, I know my limit. I've worked at two dealerships during summers between school where I was in/out of dozens of cars daily, driving in the worst conditions, hungover, tired as shit, in a big city full of immigrants where the driving is cutthroat anyway. Usually on my cell with a manager or a customer.

There's only been one or two times where I drove where I knew I shouldn't have been, and it was in a secluded residential area - but even then, I know for a fact I was safer than the vast majority of retards on the road when sober. Most people simply can't drive fucking cars. They don't pay attention to the road, they don't try to think about things ahead of time, they don't give themselves a buffer zone... the list goes on.

For this reason and this reason alone I've always found DUI charges to be ludicrous. I'm afraid to get in the car with some of my friends when they're sober because they don't check their fucking blindspots, they don't know how to control a car in bad weather (or good weather for that matter) and simply are bad drivers. If anything ever happened, they'd be dead.

Meanwhile I could out-drive them with a few beers and yet my life runs the risk of being ruined.

Go figure.
 
I find it interesting that the U.S. hasn't closed the loophole of refusing to blow. In Canada you can refuse, but refusing to blow is a criminal offense punishable exactly the same as a DUI charge.

Are you retarded? I'm pretty sure every state has that same ridiculous law.

Yeah so last night I hopped in one of my amazingly pimp rides which is a Ferrari or something I don't know because I own so many goddamn cars LOL and said goodnight to my supermodel wife just after she gave me 12 blowjobs for 2 hours while I drank Chivas and watched porn and then I drove to a club where I picked up three chicks and drove them over to meet my girlfriend on the side who is also a supermodel and we all had amazingly erotic sex for 12 hours and I tapped one of the chick's asses who was a supermodel and then busted on her back so hard that she had to go to the hospital because I bruised her spine. Then I took some drugs and drove another car it's like a Mitsubishi Eclipse special edition TYPE R or something beats me who cares when you own like 20 cars and three mansions and then I went to a stockholders meeting for Microsoft and Dupont and ExxonMobil and made lots of important decisions and then I took a limo with three hookers in it that the government paid for and they gave me blowjobs while I fingered their pussies and snorted coke off of their tits. And then I brought them home where my supermodel wife had sex with all of the hookers and I videotaped it and then we all did some online shopping and I bought a few more cars and a hot tub and we adopted some kids from the Tsunami because it is important to spread the love and be socially aware of things going on in the world, okay don't you think so? So then I drove the hookers home and they said that they had so much fun that they were not going to even charge the government and one of them said that I had the biggest cock she had ever seen and everyone else agreed LOL. So then I went and played some video games with my girlfriend and some of her supermodel friends and they invited some rock stars over and we all partied and played games and then all of the supermodels piled on top of me and we had incredibly erotic sex in one of my mansions and four of my other cars, all of which cost over $100,000 each. And also I totally owned at the video games. Then after that we went out for a restaurant and it was so good that I bought the restaurant and the head chef, who is also a supermodel, came out and gave me a blow job while she made unagi rolls which are my favorite. Then my wife and my girlfriend had lesbian sex in the restaurant and everyone had an orgy and everyone in the whole restaurant had a vote and I won "Largest Wang" as well as "Best Eyes" and "Most Semen". Then I drove home in 12 different cars and left the ones without gas on the side of the road for homeless people to take because it is important to give back to the community, and then I went to bed. And that was the best day of my life, for real.

I feel like forcing you to blow (lol) is a violation of your 5th amendment rights (if not a few others).

How are people drastically raising the rate of fatal incident behind the wheel at low BAC levels who knows it is a mystery. Statistically people drive perfectly most of the time, sure, but it's the trend toward driving badly when you're drunk that's behind DUI enforcement. You can whine and cry about it all you want, but it won't change statistical average.

Varies by state. In Oregon for example if you refuse to blow I think you automatically lose your license for 6 months regardless of the outcome of your DUI case, it's part of the contract you sign with the DMV.
