I havn't driven under the influence very often at all, once in awhile weed, and normaly that's after a few hours so the effect is pretty much done.
I've only driven when I had alcohol in my system once when I was 17, I'm 25 now, and never again, I won't get behind the wheel even if I have 1 drink, it's the principle of the matter.
I have 3 friends, one who doesn't do it often but have caught him a few times driving after he had 4 or 5 drinks.
Another friend, "Dean", my fiance and myself have told him he should take it easy, crash at someone else's house and they'll get his car tomorrow, he never listened, and would get huffy and agitated about it and cop a huge attitude, we even went as far as taking his keys, but he always managed to get them back.
Well he got into an accident while intoxicated early this summer, he rode the rail down the exit of the highway and wrecked his car a bit, he was lucky it was 300am and it wasn't with a second car.
I figured he would have learned, but he drank and drove, as usual even after more of us telling him it wasn't safe, stupid and not worth it.
Last month after an altercation with some friends he drove home heavily intoxicated and got into a accident, head on with a pole, wrecked his car beyond repair, bruised his ribs, messed up his knee, spent the night in jail, is facing massive fines, lost of his license, lost his job as a prision guard.
He was acctualy very lucky the outcome could definately been worse, and finaly he's straightened up, guess it took something like that to get it through his skull.
Now the third guy, "Dan", firstly he is a hypocrite, he was talking about the other guy who got into the accident, and that it was his fault so on and so forth. When he acctualy drinks and drives just as much, and we constantly bitch at him about it the same as "Dean", Dan's excuse "I don't drive like I'm drunk, I can handle my alcohol." and "I'm a voulenteer(sp) fire fighter, I just have to flash my badge, and I will get out of anything like that."
He drives around while acctualy drinking beer, I was in the back-seat another friend was in the front, I heard a psssstht sound and my friend in the fronts said are you drinking a beer, and Dan said no, it's a pop, ha ha ha, I wouldn't drink and drive, ha ha ha. I than told him, "You fucking asshole, you are drinking a beer when you are driving, with 2 other passengers in the car, do you not have a concious, or are you just a stupid shit." "I swear to god, I'm going to get out of the truck and kick the shit outa you." He stopped drinking the beer until we got to our destination 5 mins later.
Needless to say I havn't driven with him since, but he still drinks and drives on a regular basis and believes he's invincible and that his tin fire fighter badge gives him the right to drink and drive, and it will get him out of a DWI. I have no idea what the next step to take is with him, some of my friends have said we should call the cops on him when he is driving intoxicated, and maybe this would teach him he's being a fool, sorry about the rant there, but what do you all think is a good answer to this guy, and I remind you we have all talked to him numerous times.
