Posts Tagged ‘drunk’

cars when I was backing out of the driveway? I know its my fault and I shouldn’t drink & drive but they both had their rear ends sticking out way too far.
Jeez, such harsh reactions, I was only moving the car out of someones way, not driving somewhere, her friends, Jim & Kevin know that I hit the cars and I am paying for the damages, but my wife tends to overeact to petty things

Everybody does it right? A few beers, You dont think your ability to drive will be hindered…I am representing a husband whose whole family, 4 little girls and his pregnant wife…killed by someone who just had a couple of beers….Do you drink and drive?
the drunk driver says only had two beers very quickly on way home after work, bartender only served 2 beers, tested just over legal limit…went over center line, drivers behind him said he had been weaving…no cell phone involved
Yes I am an attorney, and yes I have drank a couple of drinks at a lunch, or at a dinner and driven home..thinking 1 or 2 drinks, I can drive ok…what lesson is that for my kids…I can say I will never do it again, nor will my husband, never….

A male driver is pulled over by a cop and the following conversation takes place:
Man: What’s the problem officer?
Cop: You were going at least 75 in a 55 zone.
Man: No sir, I was going 65.
Wife: Oh Harry. You were going 80.
(Man gives his wife a dirty look.)
Cop: I’m also going to give you a ticket for your broken tail light.
Man: Broken tail light? I didn’t know about a broken tail light!
Wife: Oh Harry, you’ve known about that tail light for weeks.
(Man gives his wife a dirty look.)
Cop: I’m also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt.
Man: Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car.
Wife: Oh Harry, you never wear your seat belt.
Man: Shut your mouth, woman!
Cop: Ma’am, does your husband always talk to you this way?
Wife: No, only when he’s drunk.

Ok, I’m currently married but may be seperating from my wife. She doen’t want me to go out and drink and drive home because she says that SHE would have to pay the fine,not me, and HER insurance would go up, not mine.The car in question has both our names on the loan and both on the title ( not sure how it’s written on the title) So,,,,I think this is a bunch of crap. If i get caught with a DUI, I go to jail,loose my privilage to drive, and have to pay the fines. Just because her name is on the loan and title of the car in question, whould she be affected by this at all? Thanks for your help!!

KENOHA –Frank Glogovsky teared up as he described the night that changed his family’s life forever.

He was driving home on Memorial Day with his wife, Dawn and their son, when a car slammed into them.

He says he did not see the other driver, only a shadow, because he was attending to his injured wife.

Prosecutors say that driver was Jorge Dominguez. Dominguez is an illegal immigrant with a criminal record. According to a criminal complaint, he told investigators he’d had 8 drinks on the day of the crash and had taken cocaine recently.

Glogovsky’s testimony was part of a preliminary hearing to determine if enough evidence exists to send Dominguez to trial. Prosecutors have more witnesses to call so the hearing will be continued later this month.

“We were thrown into the ditch all the way on the other side and probably 20-30 feet into the ditch,” he told a judge. The crash killed Dawn and injured Frank and their son.

Is all upset…How do i put up with her?

Long story short, my wife went out of town (business) so me an a few of my friends got shitfaced at the house. We ran out of beer around 3am so we played rock,paper, scissors…I lost so i drive to the liquor store and get another 24 pack and head home. I think i see a hot chick (which later turned out not to be) on the side of the road, distracted looking at her i go to pull in the driveway (still looking in my rear view mirror at what i thought was a hot chick) an BAM!! i hit the house with the car. I kinda think “put it in reverse an get the hell out of here” for a minute…then i realize its my house…My buddy’s come out an we decide to tape the side of the house up with 3 rolls of duct tape and paint the tape white to match the house. My wife will be home in 3 hours an i cant think of any good lies…..Any ideas?
I was thinking about telling her the car was stolen, then returned by a drunk who hit the house pulling in the driveway.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A judge in Mecklenburg County raised the bond Thursday on a man charged with driving drunk and felony death by vehicle after he posted bond six years ago and never appeared in court.

Police in Charlotte arrested and charged Jovany Morales with driving while impaired and felony death by vehicle in 2004. Frank ‘Buddy’ Cline III was driving to work in Charlotte on Feb. 22, 2004 when police say Morales was drunk and drove across center, hitting and killing Cline III.

Morales, who Immigration Customs Enforcement officials say is an illegal immigrant, posted bond in 2004 but never appeared in court. Authorities hadn’t seen Morales until last week, when Charlotte-Mecklenburg County police arrested him on assault charges.
Morales appeared in Mecklenburg County court Thursday to face his 2004 charges and his bond was raised from $18,000 to $200,000.

Angela Cline, Frank Cline’s wife, appeared in court Thursday to face Morales for the first time since the accident happened.

“I would love to have five minutes with him, just to ask him how he felt about it.” Cline said.

The district attorney told the judge that Morales was a flight risk, that ICE officials had a hold on Morales and that if Morales posted bond, he would be deported. Cline said she had asked the judge to raise Morales’ bond so that she had a better chance of seeing justice for her husband’s death.

“I just told him we have waited for six years, that I had to raise my kids without a father now and that my little girl was never able to lay eyes on her father and just asked that him not to put us in a situation to have to wait six more years and take the chance of him bonding out and fleeing again.” Cline said.

The district attorney says Morales had assumed the alias Carlos Lopez Estrada when officers arrested him last week.http://www.myfox8.com/news/wghp-dwi-suspect-bond-raised-100610,0,2157009.story

He got picked up dor DWI a couple of months ago when I was in Florida visiting my girlfriend, who’s father had just past away in February. My BF was out until 2:30am and got picked up by a cop for DWI. We were having alot of trust issues before this happened. I broke up w/him April 2. He kept trying to get back w/me, calling every day, showing up at my house, telling me how much he still loves me. I told him I can’t trust him for some of the crap he pulled on me. One Friday night he had to go 20 miles away to his son’s basketball banquet. After the banquet, the coach had a party, by BF went,drank too much to drive home, his x wife was at this party too. So he was going to come home but decided to spend the night at her house on the sofa. I know all this cause I decided to call him around 11:00pm, and asked if he was home, I was coming over. 1st he said he was home, then said no he wasn’t, he was at a party. Is this a way to earn my trust back??

Hello, I’ve looked and looked and can’t find any information on the ramifications of having kids in the car while getting a DWI in Texas.

I recently learned that my EX-wife was caught driving drunk with my kids in the car. My Ex-wife and I don’t have the best of relationships, shes always trying to find ways to hold the children from me so I can’t visit them. The latest reason they can’t come over and visit is because my oldest son (10) has been doing bad in school and not doing his home work. She told him that he wouldn’t be able to come over to my house until he gets better grades in school and does his home work..
The last time she with held the kids I owned her a few months back child support. The time before that she didn’t like my new girl friend. The time before that I was living alone and she didn’t like me having a babysitter for them,, and the list going on.. I’m feeling like my kids are a pawn in the little games she likes to play.

The recent DWI scares me,, I learned through a friend that she got the Felony DWI with my kids in the car, she was with her boy friend and he also has been convected of multiple DUIs and doesn’t have a drivers license.
Why wasn’t I informed about this, I don’t even know how my kids were turned home or with who. My ex-wifes boyfriend does not have any custody rights to my children. I’m in awe that this has happened and I can’t find any answers to my questions.
I’ve been thinking about taking her back to court for not letting me see the kids but it’s so expensive I just can’t afford it… So she keeps getting away with it and holds it over my and my kids head that she can refuse me to see the kids when I know she can’t.
Does anyone have any answers that relate to my situation??

I love my kids and have two girls other than my two boys that are with me. I love my children, and is why I’m even asking this tough question.
lillllbi.
I already tried CPS when I found out they were both using METH,, CPS went to their house and didn’t do anything,, In fact they came back on me and we were all drug tested for six months,, They cleaned up their act once that happened, and once again when she found out I called CPS she refused me to see the kids again!
I have to think this though clearly. I don’t want any other problems with her. I’d rather just show up in court some how and tell the story.
I’m sure my oldest son could talk for himself,, he’s (10) and my youngest is (7). They both say they’d rather live with me..

If your wife is driving down the road Drunk and shes in a 34 foot motor home and between Utah and Texas and the cops dont help what do you do or who do you call

I bet they don’t get alot of dui’s in any of these countries!
I’m not saying that the US doesn’t take drunk driving seriously. I just wanted to hear people’s opinions on what other countries do. I don’t agree with them personally…
It was a handout I received at a drug/alcohol class I attended.

only time he took flowers to her is at her grave. hes in church now. he watches videos of them

I am wanting to go to Ireland to live and pass through the UK on my way there with my Irish Wife of 6 months. I do not have Irish citizenship (yet) and want to know if I need to declare my Driving conviction.

He left the seen with the three children & went home. The wife stayed behind & took te blame.
I recived a phone call & went to the house & found my nephew with cuts all over his face & my niece had a gash in her head. The baby was still in the car seat. I washed the children in the tub as they were coverd with muddy water from the rain water in the ditch.When I finished with the 2 & 4 year old, I got the baby out of her seat. She is two months old & only weighs 7.3 pounds, her little outfit was soaking wet. I washed & fed her, as my family member sat & drank beer. This is common with this family member to be so careless, & I feel I need to step in some way. They have been warned by the local police twice before. How do they explain cuts all over these children? I am scared to turn them in & tear the family apart. I know the right thing to do i to turn them in, but I don’t think I can.

Substance abuse prevention speakers take the topic seriously, but sometimes I wonder just how many others do? I suppose as a substance abuse prevention speaker who knows the pain and torment personally from an experiential level, I am more apt to see the danger in substance abuse and drunk driving.

I grew up the son of a mother (a former high school cheerleader and honor graduate) who was an alcoholic and substance abuser. As a child I saw my beloved mother self-destruct and torment my grandparents as a result of alcoholism and using every drug imaginable. Ironically, my mother (a former drunk driver herself) was killed when crossing the road as a pedestrian when an 18 year-old drunk driver hit her – killing her on impact.

Dead on arrival, police awaited the return of the young drunk driver who left the scene of the accident. Upon returning, the police video (which I later painfully watched) showed the young man crying and screaming, “I can’t live with this on my mind!”

As a former lifeguard and fitness trainer I don’t drink alcohol to this day. Yet I don’t condemn those who do and kindly serve as the designated driver whenever anybody close to me drinks.

After a childhood of pain and hell as a result of substance abuse and drunk driving, I myself was hit and nearly killed in July 2008 by a drunk driver (a two-time DUI offender driving after her license was revoked). The 61 year-old lady barreling down the road in a large Chevy truck, driving drunk at 4:40PM on a Tuesday afternoon, hit my car repeatedly (completely totaling it and nearly killing me) without stopping, attempting to flee the scene of the accident, after which she hit and totaled a parked car before being arrested by police.

For nearly five months I drove numerous rental cars, while battling my insurance company to be financially compensated to purchase a replacement vehicle for my automobile totaled by the negligible drunk driver. Even worse I spent days and nights in hospitals and doctors’ offices receiving medical treatment after the accident for injuries, which still cause me pain and trouble to this day. The added stress and strain medically and financially also negatively affected my marriage, as logistically my wife and I shared the one vehicle the drunk driver totaled.

Personally encountering the crooked and fraudulent business practices of tow truck companies, medical professionals, insurance claims adjusters, and car salesmen added additional aggravation and suffering to my life at a time when I was most vulnerable.

Nevertheless I somehow persevered and battled through it all to stand tall, becoming a voice of conscience to substance abusers, drunk drivers, they who prey on victims of catastrophic accidents, and those suffering through seasons of tragedy turning their world upside down.

I guess God spared my life so I can speak to others.

Don throws up all over himself.

‘Oh, no… Now my wife will kill me!’

Bob says, ‘Don’t worry, pal. Just tuck a twenty in your breast pocket and

Tell your wife that someone threw up on you and gave you twenty dollars

for the dry cleaning bill.’

So they stay for another couple of hours and get even drunker.

Eventually Don stumbles home and his wife starts to give him a bad time. ‘You

Reek of alcohol and you’ve puked all over yourself! My God, you’re disgusting!’

Speaking very carefully so as not to slur his words, Don says, ‘Nowainaminit, I

Can e’splain everythin. Itsh snot wha jew think. I only had a cupla drrrinks. But

Thiss other guy got ssick on me…he had one too many and he juss koudin hold hizz

liquor He said hes was verrry sorry an’ gave me twennie bucks for the cleaning bill!’

His wife looks in the breast pocket and says, ‘But this is forty bucks..’

‘Oh, yeah… I almos’ fergot, he shhhit in my pants, too.’

In many countries, especially in Europe, drunk driving is a serious crime with very harsh pentalties. In the United States, over 40,000 people die each year in traffic crashes. Alchohol is a factor in tens of thousands of those crashes, yet drunk drivers get very light sentences. My wife and I were almost killed by a hit and run drunk driver and he only got 18 months of work release.

Okay for a little more info….they have driven drunk with them in the car often. It scares my children endlessly, but they are afraid to say anything to them because when they are drunk they are belligerent. I have told my children to call me if they are afraid to get in the car with them or if they cannot get ahold of one of us, then to call 911. My ex is a detective and thinks he is above the law. I am definitely going to address the issue but do not want my kids to feel afraid the next time they go over there or get them in trouble for confiding in me. I just wish I could never let them over there again.
