DUI?

Incedently you could buy a nice new vehicle for what your auto insurance will go up.
Thats why 2 time DUIers never have insurance.

Crankheads ain't got money, states don't have money, cops go after the nice car that weaves a little and waves at the crankheads as they drive by while the person with money does stupid human tricks.

Seems the primary function of the "system" these days is to benefit the "system".

Insurance company will pay but she'll either be dropped or the rates will go up high enough that she'll pay them back several times over.

You can get a lawyer, but if they have her dead to rights all you do is pay them a bunch of money to do little more than shuffle paper.

A friends son worked for a popular pet food company as a salesman. He was arrested for DUI and when the pet food company found out about the DUI he was let go. So he then had no job and no transportation. His wife drove him to interviews for a new job and then drove him to work everyday. He lost his insurance and had enormous lawyer fees to pay in addition to all the fines. After two years he got his liscense back and every driving infraction was a pull over and breathalizer test.

Even though you friend didn't harm anyone else she had the potential to do so.

I've thought about this a lot. I'm totally opposed to drinking and driving. But I've noticed that the usually sober driver who drinks and drives occasionally can be less dangerous than the driver who has no common sense. The lack of common sense is a 24 hour/7 day a week problem, while the drunk is occasional. Now I know that drinking and driving is a poor display of common sense, but I think there should be some kind of test to determine if someone lacks the basic common sense required to safely operate a motor vehicle even while sobor.

Of course, when it's said and done, your wife's friend will probably pay for that car many times over in increased premiums.

But that being said our comunity thinks that a drunk always comes out of a tavern, often lower to middle class income. Yet on the other hand we often witness a outstanding persons in our higher social comunity that leave the golf course or country club who are listed as a social drinker with a little to much to drink.

We have to some how get threw to these people that they have issues, and maybe lead them down the right road instead of helping extend their problem.

Remember drugs make you stupid, adult beverages make you smart. Give me a twelve pack and I will tell you just how smart I am!

I was on a rough road as a youngster, but made a decision thirty five plus years ago that it wasn't the best road to travel. All it took for me was to have my six yerar old son ask me if I didn't have to have that beer, Why did I drink it? The rest of the can was dumped, and I lost alot of my issues in life.

I would like to have your friend punished just enough so it never becomes a problem again. And I hope she gets the proper help she needs.

Now after the dust settles, they may cancel her if she has had a history of claims. If she had been good business, then they will probably switch her to a high risk policy, possibly with another company, a brokerage company. In Mo. you have to have an SR-22 to prove to the state that you have insurance. Then you have to jump through all the hoops with the driver license outfit.

Bottom line, she has caused herself a world of hurt. Just be thankful she hurt no one. then she could end up in prison.

I sure hope the insurance doesn't pay one penny. How irresponsible does a person have to be to drive an automobile after having drunk alcohol?

At least, that's my opinion.

That's a sad situation for sure that I wouldn't wish on anyone but the fact that she got into a wreck and totalled her car VS maybe getting pinched while going through a checkstop when she'd had two or three drinks doesn't speak much for her judgement..... ....

I guess all you and your wife can do is help her the best you can..... .....AND help her see her way to making better decisions in the future..... ..... ..

My ex BITC# WIFE and her FAST ASSE$ FRIEND left me at home with the kids thankfully to go shopping at walmart and 5 hours later I got a phone call to come pick her and fat as@ freind up as they were involved in a wreck with fat as@ driving my then wifes car which was coowned my myself. I told my ex ole lady to walk and hung up. Thwn called the police and told them where to pick them up at.

Insurance paid 0 and I didnt pay jack eaither because I told the judge I was not the fat asse@ bitc@ driving it and he hung her as@ for everything.

But my ole lady kept running with her and that ruined our marriage of six years.

I have 0 tolerance to people who drive impaired behind a wheel.

Look at your kids or neices and nephews and think what you would feel like if an impaired driver killed them Or if you killed one of them or someone elses kids.

I told that judge that he would have infact sent me to prison if my kids would have been in the car because there would have been two dead bitche@ on the roadside.

Im sorry if that offends anyone but I have worked in a hospital emergency department and its not good watching peoples lives ripped away from them over stupid childish or aldultish impaired driving.
