Keep it a Happy New Years! Dont pick up those keys if you've been drinkin!
Please read my little story and remember it before you do tomorrow night....
We all love to bitch and rage over drunk drivers :rant But here is a situation most of us are guilty of at least a time or two.
Long story short, my ex girl~fling and I were out having some drinks downtown two years ago, she was wasted and horny, I was hardly buzzed and horny
She wanted to fool around in the car before we left for home, so we did She happened to mumble a name...that huh...wasn't mine. I got a little pissed off, put the keys in the ignition, and told her, Biatttch, I'm takin you home! Driving a little fast, but remember I'm not fucked up, got popped for doing 70 over the 520 bridge heading for the Eastside. Cop goes to passenger window to talk to me (as they sometimes do), and immediatley smells strong alcohol sent (mostley from her). Again, long story short, I got popped for a DUI.
To keep my license, and good insurance standings, I had to use the "defered" option. Some of you may know this, but most dont...Here are the costs involved:
$3000.00 Lawyer fee
$4500.00 Two year treatmet program
$65.00 per month propation fees for two years = $1560.00
FIVE years of AA, two times per week = 780 total hours of my time.
There are a lot of other penalties too, but those are the most painful.
If I do the math right, that would buy a damn nice bike!
The strait facts of my DUI:
BAC = .12 (about 3 beers for someone my size).
Caught for speeding, not being drunk.
Total cost, time and money...Well over $10,000.00
Lesson learned: Priceless.
So if your still reading...Have a great New Years, just stay safe!!!
