Probably once a week, I get behind a drunk driver. Either I'm that unlucky or there are a ton of folks that get behind the wheel intoxicated. When I can, I call them in and follow until the police can get them off the road. Folks, there is absolutely no reason to be drinking and driving. Having A social drink over dinner etc is one thing, but getting buzzed/drunk and behind the wheel makes you a pc of schit. So many families get torn apart because of this non sense and there is just absolutely no reason for it. If you do decide you can get drunk and handle yourself driving, I hope you wrap yourself around a tree instead of killing an entire family.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

I honestly think the police dont give 2 schitts about traffic violations anymore I havent seen someone pulled over in months and i drive 50 mile round trip everyday I see people swerving, speeding, cutting people off all the time and alot of times in view of police and they just keep on rolling. hell 90% of the time I see LEO there driving worse than the people there supposed to be writing tickets to.

How you know they're drinking and driving? Serious Question? Pretty easy to spot, when they are going half in and out of lanes, almost sideswiping folks etc.....Called in a woman about a month ago that was so drunk she could barely walk and had two kids in the car under 4. Took me 20mins to get the police on her.

And I'm not trying to be "sexist" but a few months ago i started counting up folks on their phones texting and driving and it was around 30 folks! And it was mostly all women, and women of all ages. And 9 out of 10 times when someone rides my azz it's a teenage girl, but oh that can't be cause daddy's little girl is such a great driver 🤣🤣🤣

Are you sure it's not someone texting or otherwise playing or looking at their phone? I see this all the time.........
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

Took me 20mins to get the police on her. Gotcha. I called in one several years ago, i couldn't help but do it, he nearly hit 3 cars, they found him pulled over taking a piss on the side of the road with a beer in his hands

was talking with off duty MHP at left field lounge trailer a few years back and asked if people really drove that t-totally hammered....he said "you wouldn't believe how smashed a lot of the ones we stop are..all hours of the day and night!" it is obviously more common that most realize.

Cell phones are far more dangerous. I wish they'd arrest people for that.

Cell phones are far more dangerous. I wish they'd arrest people for that. Both are dangerous but I agree texting and driving is more dangerous and I saw a stat not long ago that backed it up. I think it said a texting driver was 4 times more likely to be in an accident than a drunk driver.

Driving while distracted is actually more dangerous.
