I guess I'm going to jail.

[MartinBarre]

Estonia-Finland-Russia aka The Alco-zone has by far the biggest alcohol consumption (per person) in the world.

Really, we're always being told it's us - scaremongering newspaper bastards!

Bottom line here is: the guy must have been pretty wasted to crash into a lampost then fuck off home like nothing happened.

Gets what he deserves if he goes to jail.

Has Burn even replied? Maybe he's in the hoosegow already?

I honestly don't have any sympathy. If we had tougher drunk driver laws then maybe less people would do it.

[zeegler]

You're contradicting yourself and proving his point. A lot of people have driven drunk, yourself included as you mention, and just got lucky not to be caught. Doesn't mean it's right, or ok, just a fact.

Hardly. Just because I have done it, doesn't mean the majority have. I know plenty of people who don't drink at all, period. Plus, just because I was stupid enough to do it, and lucky enough not to hurt myself or other people, doesn't mean everyone should get a freebie.

[zeegler]

For me, probably a similar situation to you, Zeegs- Stupid shit when I was much much younger, much much stupider. I am extremely ashamed of that behavior, even decades later. I will fight like hell to make sure my children don't make the same mistake. But I was lucky. I never hit a sign. And that's all the difference between me and the OP. I was lucky.

Exactly. When I woke up in the morning, and couldn't even remember driving home, I felt like a total shit. However the other main difference, is that if I'd crashed my car, and gotten arrested, I certainly wouldn't be crying "poor me" on an internet forum. I certainly would not expect any sympathy from anyone.

By the way, I always take cabs home now if I've been drinking. Harassing taxi drivers can be lots of fun.

[Newc]

My father-in-law has put his car in the ditch 3 times from drunk driving, and finally learned his lesson. By his own choice he no longer drives.

Now that's a fucking alcoholic - to have a choice between controlling your drinking (do less, do it at home, call a cab, etc) or completely giving up driving, and deciding that giving up driving is the better choice? Fuckin people, man.



Put me down as one who doesn't drink at all. When my cel phone rings I either pull over and stop or tell the caller to wait and I'll call them back if it's not an emergency.


And just because it's the first time he got caught doesn't mean it's the first time he did it. I don't understand why people think you should get off easy simply because it's the first time you got caught. If that's the case, John Wayne Gayce and Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy and the Unabomber fall under "first time offender" as well, should they have been released with a warning?
Don't get a lawyer and try to get a reduced sentence. Walk into the courtroom like a mature responsible adult, waive your right to counsel, and assure the Judge that you know you screwed up and you know that the Law applies to everyone equally, and that you're man enough to admit your mistake and take the punishment.

You had balls enough to break the law, at least have balls enough to suffer its wrath.

[Joe_Steeler]

Has Burn even replied? Maybe he's in the hoosegow already?

Maybe he is getting some "love" from his cellmate.
Bite hard and let go buddy!!

[LouSiffer]

I say fuck manning up to it.... Here is what I would do:

Pop some Viagra before you go to court.

Walk into the courtroom with extra tight biker shorts on with a feminine walk. Look at the judge and say " Your honor, give it to me hard..... just like last weekend. "

When he looks at you in amazement, pull your shorts off and tuck your weiner between your legs so you look like a girl and say " Maybe this will help you remember me."

As he is about to shit himself, also remind him that he still owes you for that hotel room.

At this point he is obviously going to deny anything of the such, this is where the Viagra kicks in.

Start cranking the cock whilst screaming something like " Stand back, I have multiple pre-mature ejaculations !! " There is not a cop that will come near you.

Tackle the judge and tea-bag him. You know how he liked that shit last weekend.

If at this point, the judge hasn't seen your point of view in all this, squat down on top of his stand and take a shit.... while still jerking of course. I love taking a big healthy shit while jerking.....it hits the prostate on the way out.....ROWRRR!!

Pick up said poo and you have 2 choices: 1: Throw it!! 2: Dinner!!

I opt for option 2...here is why: You can pull the magicians trick and slip a condom in your mouth and halfway through that scrumptious bite, pull it out and say " That damn Newc..... I knew he left that in there!!!"

At this point and time, one of 2 things will happen: 1: The judge will be more than happy to waive your sentence just to get you out of there. : 2: You will have to spend your 80 days.

This is by far the stupidest advice I've ever heard, get a lawyer, keep your mouth shut and be respectfully polite(No Sir your Honor, Yes Sir your Honor, etc...).

And the statement "the law applies to everyone equally" is the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard. We all know that connected people(with money) receive far softer sentencing. Remember Vince Neil he killed the guy from Hanoi rocks(did he serve any time)? Same guy shot someone to death(I think he did 30 days for that one). Ever heard of OJ? Bill Clinton perjured himself on national TV and most people applauded him:think:

Burn, get a lawyer, good luck and remember what you've learned from this experience(it's always cheaper to take a taxi).

And the great majority of the responses I've read on here are complete and total horse shit.

What if this, What if that?
Let's stick to the facts, even if you've had some kind of personal tragedy(that was someone else, not Burn).Remember he hit a sign, which is basically just vandalism in my book! I would advise him to go to a jury trial, but with so many fucktarded citizens that grew up in touch with their feminine side(he'd probably get a raw deal).

So in conclusion, go ahead continue to judge this guy and jump to wild conclusions, go ahead and try to scare him because after all - I'm sure that's what he was looking for when he mentioned this to a board of so called 'peers'.

And remember karma's a bitch, so be prepared to reap what you sow ....

[jacksonaxes]

Remember Vince Neil he killed the guy from Hanoi rocks(did he serve any time)?.

That was a long time ago, no way he wouldn't do time today!

[toejam]

Vince Neil did do jail time... I think he only got 30 days and got out early. Vince himself says he's basically the O.J. Simpson of the '80s and that he got away with murder.

[RacerX]

Vince Neil did do jail time... I think he only got 30 days and got out early.

Wiki says charged with 30, served 18. I remember when all that went down; the couple in the other car (a VW?) were friends of friends of mine.

[toejam]

Damn. I remember those other people got hurt pretty bad, or at least one of them, and Vince paid a pretty hefty amount.

[atomic charvel guy]

You have the terms justice, the truth, and the law. You're more likely to find the law in a courtroom more often than justice or the truth. (I stole this line from a movie)

[Tetsuo]

You know what the problem was with this, not the mistake that was made because we all make them but the fact that he was bitching about being caught. There was no remorse.

Someone mentioned about serving time for texting and driving, your god damn fucking right someone should serve time for that if they kill someone. Texting and driving is dangerous really dangerous.

In the past I have driven drunk and I still feel sick about it, foolish youth but still no excuse. Thank whatever that I didn't hurt someone.
