Lets see..I am sure at some time or another everyone here might have had a beer and drove away in their car...second if you dont drink..I am sure you have gone over the posted speed limit in your life time...therby endangering peoples lives AND breaking the law!

Get off of the high moral horse and come back down to earth where the real people live...he cracked up his truck....he admitted it was wrong...saying "he should get killed" is damn pathetic!

He apparently realizes the err of his ways and with any luck he will not do it again....dont point the accusing finger of wrong doing without first looking at all the stupid things you have done yourself. And before anyone gets on the pedestal and proclaims "I would never!" and "I have never!" just stop and don't lie outright to us all.


Johnnie,


A bad decision to drink and drive, i hope you learned your lesson. You didnt kill anyone, you didnt get hurt and you didnt get in trouble with the law because you left the scene. Not things to be proud of, but I am sure you know the difference between right and wrong and will stay on the straight and narrow from now on right?

SK

Where did he say he learned his lesson? Where did he apologize for what he did? Where did he show any sympathy for what he did, besides the fact that his precious truck was dented. Who cares if he admits he was wrong. That doesn't change anytyhing. FYI: I have NEVER drank and drove, and I find it appauling that you woud put me in the same category as a drunk driver just because I may have went 5 over the speed limit at one point in time. He should be in jail right now or at the very least, he should not have his licence. It makes me sick at night knowing that stupid people like Johnnie and you are out at the bar getting drunk and not caring, and that there are police officers that let people off the hook for stuff like that.

Where did he say he learned his lesson? He's just upset that his precious truck was dented. He will probably start a new thread complaining that his insurance won't cover it.

Sympathy for what? The tree he hit? You're forgetting that he didn't actually kill anyone.

Give me a break. If it wasn't Johnnie the flames would be burning even brighter.

He was drunk enough he ran onto someones lawn, thats not just a beer over the limit drunk.
Then he left the scene of a accident and seem overjoyed he didn't get a ticket.

I figure thats a little worse than most of the "holier-than-thou police" have ever done.

He might as well have. Everything that was within Johnnie's control (getting into the car and choosing to drive) was the same as a drunk who gets into his car and kills someone. The only thing that seperates the two is that one was lucky (uncontrollable event) and the other wasn't. Sorry, I have no sympathy for drunk drivers and I cannot believe the police let him off completely.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was a crime to have some common sense. Since I am not perfect, I guess it's wrong of me to criticize others.


What I SHOULD have said...
OMG!!! Are you ok??? I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. This is not a common thing to happen when you ingest high levels of alcohol, what could have gone wrong? It must be society. Who cares about the stupid tree. How much do you suppose it will cost to fix your truck? Hopefully the insurance company will pay for your little run of bad luck. It's a good thing the police officer let you off the hook. If theres one thing we need more of in this world, it's more drunk drivers. Don't worry, I'm sure next week's binge at the bar will go smoother. Keep up the good work and good luck getting your truck fixed.

Sorry about your accident.

Just the fact you posted here tells me you've got ballzz and your heart is in the right place. I read it as you giving a warning to everyone about why it is a big mistake to drink and drive.

Kudos to you for that.

Drunk driving is no differnet from attempted murder. Best case, attempted assault with a deadly weapon. :disgust::disgust:

I can't believe you did this!!! If you can afford to drink you can afford to call a fscking cab. Any bar owner with common sense will gladly let you leave your vehicle overnight.
I have no tolerance at all for drunk drivers, you knew better but you did it anyhow. You ought to thank god that was a tree and not a person. If you hit anyone in that truck of yours you'd have most likely killed them.

With that being said, what you need to do is to make a promise to yourself, your family, and your friends that you will never drive drunk again. Follow the tables for weight and time, if you are even REMOTELY close to this, call a cab.
What's your deductible, $250, $500, $1000? A $500 deductible would have paid for a lot of cab rides.
That's assuming your insurance company will even pay for this. If they don't that looks like about 2 grand worth of damage minimum.

I really hope you have learned your lesson Johnnie. I don't want to hear about how you killed someone while driving drunk again.

I'm sorry but you're a tool. That tree could have very well been a person. Would you be posting pictures of the person you did a hit and run on? Maybe you should change the title of your thread to "I'm a dumb@$$"

Why is everyone screaming about drinking and driving? It?s not like it?s the same thing as murder. It?s not that big of a deal. So he drink and drove big deal, I am glad that you didn't get arrested and didn't kill anyone. Car can be repair and you only hit the tree so glad you are alive and go on with your life and ignore everyone that are screaming about drinking and driving.

Drinking and driving IS a big deal. You're naive if you think it's not. Not only was he drunk, but he left the scene of an accident. We're all glad he didn't kill anyone but the fact of the matter is, he COULD have. If someone hurt your loved one in a drunk driving accident it'd be a pretty big deal, even if nobody died.

yes he could have killed someone but he didn't so end the story. As for drinking and driving you are wrong its not as big deal as everyone make it unless hit someone. Yes i knew people who got kiled due to dui and i still don't see it beeing big deal

edit: also don't forget when you have alot of money and you can afford really good lawyers you look at life different then if you are poor.

That's right. Ylen13 is an idiot. How does having lots of money have any effect on drunk driving? Are you saying that it's ok to drive drunk if you are rich and have a good lawyer? I have no idea what you are trying to insinuate. It's pretty sad that you know more than one person that was killed by a drunk driver, yet you don't think there is a problem.

Look at the size of that truck, ideal personal transport..

If you want to drink drive then atleast get your self a smaller/less fatal car. That way the next time you drink drive you'll be able to put yourself into the nearest hospital along with any inocent bystanders that happen to be in your way.

Brain dead moron..

On top of us having to bust Johnnie's balls for having driven after drinking, we also need to note that the bigger the truck, the smaller his penis.
