There’s no such thing as “drunk driving”

As evidenced by all the vast majority of drunk drivers (99.999%) that never hurt anyone.
There’s only ****ty driving or good driving, whether you’re stoned or sober. -

DUIs are just designed to punish poor people. A pig can claim it detects “the odour of alcohol” and hit you with a DWI and ruin your life forever, even if it was lying.
There’s nothing wrong with driving after drinking, the difference is whether you’re a ****ty driver or not. Ann Heche would have easily been sober and plowed into that house. Just like how Paul Walker killed himself and another person without drinking.
The whole drunk driving myth is propaganda. -

Then how would you explain it that someone with a spotless driving record, never got into one accident her whole life, is now sideswiping cars and crashes into a tree after consuming a bunch of glasses of wine?
You honestly think she would have done the same thing on that same day had she been sober?

I sorta feel the way you do, actually.
That it could be an issue of, "mind over matter."
I tell ya this though.
There is no way after I get ****ed up, good and buzzed or drunk that I would try it unless it was on a safe course.
DUI is not a good idea and I really hate it when they do that and have no problem if they kill themselves when they do.

So… a person who is drunk and driving a car isn't drunk driving? And if I'm caught behind the wheel of a car with at least a blood alcohol level of 0.08 I'm just driving ****ty? Fuck. I guess I'm going to have to use that next time I get pulled over and they arrest me for registering a BAC of over the legal amount or failing a field sobriety test.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one. -

No, there's nothing subjective. A high blood alcohol level is going to impair your dexterity and judgment. This can and has been measured and is an established, uncontroversial scientific fact.
People who drive while drunk, however skilled, are utterly worthless, irresponsible assholes. End of story. -

Utterly ridiculous lmao. A man weighing 300 lbs could have a BAC of .5 and not be impaired at all.
It’s completely subjective from person to person. This “scientific fact” you’re talking about is just pseudo-science peddled by charlatans.
There are plenty of examples of people actually having improved dexterity and judgement after drinking, you know nothing.
By your logic, someone would have a drink and then immediately crash their car into a brick wall without even leaving their driveway. You’d have to be congenitally retarded to do that, it has nothing to do with alcohol, -

This “scientific fact” you’re talking about is just pseudo-science peddled by charlatans.
Good, then you should be able to cite the studies showing impairment of performance by blood alcohol level and articulate exactly what mistakes they made.
Why do both of us know for a fact that you will never, ever do this?

You apparently get your science from the the
Journal of Alcoholic Delusions
.
Newsflash: "examples" are nothing more than anecdotal "evidence" and are never, ever considered valid from the perspective of scientific discipline. If you knew this fundamental principle of the scientific method you wouldn't have made such an absurd statement.
Always wondered that too. Silly brits and their daft phrases. )
