to suggest the impairment is the same between having 2 drinks and 14 drinks is ludicrous.
Really......i suppose with that comment you have never been in an accident that has resulted by DUI, have you?
I have.
In October 1997, i was driving my mum back home from a day out of grocery shopping and paying the usual bills. I was driving a 1988 Ford Falcon Station Wagon, my hubby and I used to call it "the beast".
My mum and I were approaching a T intersection at 60kph, when a white van collided with us, the injuries sustained were horrific, my mum was badly hurt.
My mum had her hip smashed out of her socket and also sustained femur fracture, other injuries also sustained was being lynched by the seatbelt which caused heavy abrasions on her right breast and left hand-side neck, she also suffered concussion from having her head being slammed against the side window, and whiplash.
My injuries were no where near as bad.....but i did headbut the steering wheel and one of the keys that had been in the ignition stabbed my right knee cap because the front of my car had been forced so far up that it had dislodged the motor and forced the dash into us.....my station wagon looked like a hatch back.
The fire brigade had to use the "jaws of life" to get us out of the car as the doors were buckled so badly.
I wish i could show you photo's but it was pre-digital for us anyway......and the photo's that were taken are still in police custody i suppose, as it was used as evidence in the courtcase.
The man that hit me was a first time DUI offender.....he was not an alcoholic he just had 2 beers and meat pie for lunch at the local pub, he apparently used to have this lunch quite a bit, and he was on his way to another job when he did not realise that the lights were on red to turn right.
So as much as this is prolly going to fall on your deaf ears, your stupid comments of giving Paris a fair go and your friend had bla-blah and he had only blah-blah so Paris is getting discriminated against because she is a rich kid is falling on my deaf ears. Why you think it's insane that Paris is not stupid and has commented on everybody's post that disagrees with you, is beyond me.
We all do stupid things, i can only hope that Paris understands that she could have hurt someone or even potentially killed someone.
When she got out on Thursday, the media says she was in 5 days when its really 3 days an some hours. Who came up with this idea? People should serve every hour they are sentenced for!
