Missed one.
Does Lakewood, CO even HAVE cabs? Tulsa is 2.5x the pop of lakewood and cabs are very rare here.
Hahaha true that.
I don't lose my license till court, if even then. I don't drive anyway I live right on the train line that takes me to and from school.
I talked to my lawyer this morning and he said it will get dismissed in court since it was a volnnteer and not a badged police officer who administered the test and breathalizer, and since my friend blew a .10 it will help me get a reduced fine if it doesn't get dismissed. Only reason I'm fighting it is because it's a mandatory court date.
Yes, Lakewood has cabs. Hell... Denver even makes the numbers drunk-proof.. so the OP coulda called one easily.
Freedom Cab - 303-444-4444
Metro Taxi - (303) 333-3333
Yellow Cab - 303-777-7777
Hey, try as hard as you can to not kill anyone next time you get into your car drunk, k?
You also need money for drinking.
You need money for cabs.

DENVER - The Sawaya Law Firm is offering reimbursement for taxi rides over the St. Patrick's Day holiday weekend for those too impaired to drive.

compared to a 500$ fine.
That is most likely going to get thrown out.
And mike sawayas offer was only valid in denver county.
Many states are making cell phone + driving illegal. There certainly are studies showing that driving while tired is very impairing. If you don't think yelling at someone in your back seat is distracting you from the road, well, you're just lying to yourself.
My point is that unless you're driving with the attention level of a Nascar driver, every distraction is impairing. All of them. Yet, this one is made out to be the most evil thing you can do, whereas the others are not. Its hypocritical.
I had a designated driver last night, so don't go pointing fingers at me, sport.
Impairment while drinking is a sliding scale. And the amount of "slide" on that scale between .079 and .08 is negligible. Yet, as you said, a line has to be drawn. So, for safety's sake, it is drawn low enough that those right under the line are not stumbling drunk killing machines. Simple logic. Therefore, realistically, neither of those at .08. The OP gambled and lost, and will pay the consequences, but the amount of ire he is drawing from ATOT, while not surprising, is misplaced.
Absolutely. All forms of impairment compound on each other. Again...the point is that everyone here attacking him has done something that has impaired their driving, yet they still sit up on that high horse, looking down and pointing fingers. Hypocrites.
How much are you paying the lawyer that's fighting it?
how did you get pulled over after 6 drinks? that is like nothing. did he pull you over for something else and smelled it?
anyway, that sucks man.
