truecitizen- I have recently taken the class out at Blackhawk for bartending- and I was surprised to realize that if someone is getting/already drunk,and a bartender keeps filling their drinks- they can be held responsible for the driver's actions. For ex. If I was at a bar some night, hit you while drunk driving- you could not only sue me but go after the bartender as well. Maybe this needs to be put out in the open more so that bartenders are more aware of this as well.
There's always cops downtown by the Quotes(i wonder why they're by that bar!!!!LOL), and I know they sit and wait for people to get in their cars and drive away. Maybe they need to start spreading the night cops out by bars, so then they can bust them right then and there.

My goodness what is it with all these cars
and trucks crossin the center line ..I believe this is like the 4th one in a month around here.Do we need a racing retainer wall between
the lanes or what......

Wow, was Krystal Hart out driving again?

Believe me, I am the oposite of a socialist. Just trying to spur some thought, because people who drink and drive just don't get it. I like the built in intoximeter idea, but very improbable and impractical (for all cars). We could could start seizing peoples vehicles and turning them into cash for the community and police etc., but only after they are found guilty. I also think there should be tougher penalties and the offender should be made to follow through on their court ordered treatment groups, and prove they get something out of it.

How about instead of more government programs and limitations, why don't we just make the laws already on the books tougher? Why is it in this state that you can continuously drive drunk, get caught and basically just get a slap on the wrist?

ugghhhh. the 'eviler of two evils' strikes again. ill just run the rant thru my head this time, and maybe only time;), to save yall some time. lol

How about reinstatement of the Volstead Act?

It'd be nice to see auto manufacturers put breath analyzers in all new vehicles. That could be a start. Maybe state government could create a program to help people retrofit their existing vehicles with them. Any solution to help keep drunks off the road would be welcome.

Sounds like socialism to me or a special interest group

It's like the energizer bunny...keeps going and going...This time one of our protectors was hurt. Thankfully it's sounds like he'll be okay. I suggest again, maybe a major change is needed. Perhaps the ditributors of the alcohol need to have limits put on them, or liabilities; or a change in our thinking about alcohol. I drink, but I can't understand the constant excessive negatives that keep occurring. I mean, just one bar sends 'home' dozens or hundreds of literally blitzed people!

scott53505:
I agree. This seems to be an everyday occurrence.

Im glad the officer is doing ok.These drunks need to be off the road,these patrolman are always putting there lives in danger.
