What the hell?

DUI's

A recent bubble of DUI's over here makes me wonder: WHAT IS WRONG? It's not like you don't know drinking + driving = bad. A teenager, maybe. An adult, no excuse. You should know.

Just in case we're not clear here, you can refer to this handy dandy chart or use this calculator.

The penalties suck. Your insurance will likely increase threefold. Your license may be taken away.

If you do get pulled over, I was surprised to learn one shouldn't submit to a breathalyzer. If you blow a high BAC your car will probably be impounded. If you refuse to blow, the police will leave your car wherever it is.

Here are some visual indicators of DUIs in progress. Ahem, these are to help sober drivers distinguish a drinker in the lane next to you.

Alright, I'll get off my high horse.
