I was at my cousins friends house earlier and I had 5 beers and two shots, Im 19.

So I was driving home, completely ignore a flashing red light while a cop happens to be passing me. FUCK. So I get pulled over. He asks me for my license/registration. Done. He then asks me how much I had to drink (greeaat) I tell him 2 beers. I had to be honest...sort of. He tells me to recite the alphabet and coutdown from 100-76(odd). I do it fine, he then goes back to his car and comes back saying "Im going to assume you had those beers under adult supervision and since you are 20 (even though im 19) I am just going to assume you were being careless. I hope you learned from this, Im going to give you a failure to yield."

This is the second time I got let off for drinking/driving underage. And for the record I WAS fine, and I always drive home ok to drive. Why did I run a flashing red? I was blasting My Morning Jacket, too into the music.

Somehow I still feel like crap though, my dads kinda pissed even though I only told him about the failure to yield. I get let off basically, shouldn't I be glad?

EDIT: After 8 pages of "arguing", I learned my lesson. I'm gonna be asking my friends for rides now and if not, just stay over. I dont feel like risking any of that shit anymore. Especially since this was my second time getting let off the hook.

    If you someday again decide that you're "fine" to drive and kill or maim someone on the road, then the two cops who have let you slide so far should be held accountable for their negligence to deter your reckless behavior.

  • You're going to lose your license plain as day if you keep that up, with a nice punch to the pocketbook, and a record, to boot.

    You've been lucky as hell so far. The more luck you get....well......the quicker it runs out.

    I'd bet $100 next time you're getting nailed for it. It's a hoot...you'll love it. Jail is fun.

    Yep, fun if you like 400lbs guy's rubbing your back while singing songs to you. and every prison has a guy like that :D and it's very underrated, those guy's tend to have incredibly soft hands and smooth voices.

    serioulsy 12345, you don't want to get locked up, don't throw your life away for a few drinks!

    and btw, I'm not joking about the 400lbs back rubber. they exist, one min you are sitting alone and the next, you turn around and this guy is giving you the kissy face.... hope that's enough to scare you.



    Be safe dude and be happy you are not locked up right now.

    no you shouldnt be glad, by the sound of your post you are proud of not getting caught but being a fuckwit. you got behind the wheel under the influence, i hope the next time you do it, you get caught before you do any damage. Maybe a stay in the frey bar hotel is what you need to sort your shit out

    .....And you were FINE! I wonder how much it'll take to get you hammered to know NOT to get behind the wheel. BRILLIANT!

  • #1: You shouldn't be glad, you should feel like a freakin' moron for drinking and driving. You are lucky in so many ways, it's retarded.

    #2: Those cops who've let you go are idiots. Next time you might run into a cop who actually does his/her job. And when that happens, you'll be explaining it to your dad from jail instead of at home.

    #3: Alcohol sucks. Take some better drugs. Just don't drive after taking them.

    JEEEEEEEEEEZUS!

    should you be glad ?


    you should be glad you didnt hurt someone, or yourself.


    im the last one that should preach about drinking and driving.

    back in the day i spent 15 wonderful days in jail for it.

    with that being said, i've learned. and you can ask a few people on this board, i can put the beer away, and come off seemingly fine. i have a very high tolerance. but after 5 beers and a shot or two, i am not fine to drive, no matter how fine i think i am.

    you are impared after a beer or two, trust me.

    learn from others mistakes, b4 you make a very costley one yourself.

    good luck.
    Peace, Love.

    Last thing....just imagine for a second how MOST of us drive now SOBER. Then imagine if EVERYONE drove their vehicle after having the same amount you had to drink.

    You can then just imagine how REALLY scary it would be to drive on the roads then. Hope you learn something from this and what peeps have been saying cause it will catch up with you, IT WILL.

    I would hope you feel some remorse, even if no one got hurt. I suspect you do since you posted this on a public forum. You were lucky this time. Drinking and driving is a public health issue in that what you're doing is not only risking harm to yourself, but also unsuspecting others. It's unfortunate that individuals don't see that, but egregious that cops don't either. That's only encouraging dangerous behavior. There's a lot of culpability to be spread around.
    Ultimately, it comes down to your decision-making. If you feel bad at all, take that as a lesson and remember it next time before you hop in the car, even if you feel "fine."

    I don't like to call people out personally, but you're an idiot for drinking and driving. You've gotten away with it at least twice (how many other times have you driven and not been pulled over?). You really need to learn a lesson.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    I started drinking at 8:30 and left the house at 1 am. I stopped drinking at around 12. By the time I drove I probably had like 2 beers left in me. I was FINE. I dont think a cop would just let me go if he didn't know I was fine. You guys are acting like I was completely drunk and Im a piece of shit for doing it. Im sure none of you guys ever drink or drive home buzzed :rolleyes:

    Lucky I didnt kill someone? give me a break.
