You sir, are...



















correct!!! Like I said in my previous post, some people never need to learn THE LESSON. I am also dumb when it comes to other things, but I have never been in an accident, alcohol-related or not. I don't drink and drive. Period. If I know I will be drinking I always take a sleeping bag and crash in my ranger. Used to be hard, but now it is almost as comfy to me as my matress back at home!

i have lost family members because of drunk drivers and u know wut i forgave him it only makes the situation worse by tearing a strip off him over and over again he knows he did something wrong and he's beating himself up for it. how would u feel in his position you'd feel like shit, ppl in this thread took it way way to far and it should be deleted his lesson was learn no one hurt so drop it

I Agree 100%,
Dusty You Are A Guy That I Like On TRS, Along With Some Others..You see where im coming from here, unlike some other fuckin un-named ass holes on here that piss me the **** off so shut the god damn up fuckers,

WOW!!!

You have balls telling this to TRS. My uncle died when a drunk driver hit him EXACTLY how you just decribed your accident. he died instantly.i don't feel bad for you losing your truck but i do not wish death on anyone. Its good that your alive though. so i really have nothing else to say on this matter.

Good luck

he may have balls for telling this to TRS but i have to say thet i have NO sympathy for ANYONE who brags about how loaded they were and then got behind the wheel to drive. when i was 14 i lost my uncle to a drunk driver, the guy was driving a truck with a camper on it with those extended mirrors on it and clipped my uncle in the head hard enough to split his head in half, the FUCKED-UP [and yes i said fucked] part was that he "lived" for 14 days after. was this covered up, well from what i have read , i think so. am i sorry that he lost his truck, not in the least. am i glad that he's o.k, yes i am, i just think that he needs to face more of the repercussions than he did. have i done retarded shit in my life, well lets see , i am 40yrs old and i could probably fill a page or two. do i brag about the stupid things i have done, no , i learn from the mistake and try not to repeat it over again. 15yrs ago i had a D.U.I, drove drunk many times before that, as i am sure a few of us have, why you may ask, well because when we are drunk we think we are 10ft tall and bullet proof. well i am here to say we ain't. has he learned a lesson from the flaming he has gotten so far, i hope so. and again I AM GLAD THE KID LOST SOMETHING HE LOVED, AND I AM JUST AS GLAD THAT IT WASN'T A HUMAN LIFE. it is a bitch about the truck though it looked like it might have been nice, and BTW my d.u.i prety much sobered me up only get drunk on my birthday and then only to remind myself why i quit drinking[ hate hang-overs and as much as i used to drink when i was younger, cab rides are expensive as hell, but not as expensive as the fines you pay when pulled over or the guilt of having taken an innocent life from being stupid.]

Christ, way to revive an old thread.

Holy shit... What a thread.

For real Southern... You got off very lucky. The cost of a DUI could easily exceed what that truck was worth, and that's not even going into if you'd hurt yourself or someone else.
The bad thing is that drinking and driving, as destructive as it is, is still pretty damned socially acceptable. I did it, and I got in a whole world of trouble with it too. I feel very lucky that a DUI was all I managed out of it, but that was enough for me. I don't drive if I've had so much as a sip. I've worked in bars most of my life and see it all the time. People don't call cabs, most people don't have DD's... it's just the way it is, and it's pretty damned scary how acceptable it is. Growing up it was the same way... Everyone I knew did it. Stupid as hell, but again, that's the way it was. No one is going to fist fight you over your keys. Off duty Cops come into my work, get loaded and drive home... How's that for a social deterrent?
Most people who get a DUI, or have an incident like yours, will swear off the booze for maybe a month or two. When the shock wears off they care a little less and maybe have a drink or two and drive, and justify it because they've "only had one or two...." Then before long they're back at it full force. Because "What's the odds of it happening again?" and "They're going to be more careful drinking and driving this time, because they've learned their lesson already." Obviously not.
I know people who've had 3, 4, 5, DUI's and are such fucking idiots... They still don't get it.
Awhile from now all of this will be behind you man, but don't forget how you feel right now, and what a dumbass thing it was that you did. Even leaving out the harm you could do to yourself or others... The cost of your truck or a DUI could buy you years and years worth of cab rides, unless you're a total lush, without all of the negative implications.
There's no one here who hasn't done something incredibly stupid, and most have probably drank and drove more than a few times... The real test of stupidity is if you continue to do the same stupid thing over and over and expect different results. Good luck to you.

Christ, way to revive an old thread.

Thats what i was thinking, Ive havent had anything to drink since the wreck so this is a good reminder to keep at it.

I think this thread should have been left where it was, in the past.
