I think that any law should be based on your actions, not on the propensity to committ bad actions
I think drinking and choosing to drive is an action spooky
As far as I understand, the law usually has a principle of what is common knowledge for how they punish people
it is common knowledge that drinking leads to impared driving
I do not see it the same way as you Dolf
so it is fair to punish someone for choosing to do that
I think actively choosing to do something that has a proven correlation with fatal car wrecks is reckless by definition of the word reckless
I do not think the risk of "impared driving" is something that should be legislated against
especially because it is something you do not have to do
and I get, "alcohol bad" and all
simply put there is no reason you should get behind the wheel of a car while drunk, so the act of choosing to do so is reckless in nature
I like that first one
I don't give a shit if people want to drink. I think its silly, but whatever. I think of alcoholics like I think of trannies
you are a tranny to me spooky
pirate is proof driving under the influence is bad
@reorruatrnte wake up and try to defend yourself fucko
to me Dolf, reckless implies you are driving without regard to posted signage/markings or are otherwise operating in such an unpredictable way that it is a danger to those around you
I had to think about that a bit
I don't know what the legal language in use currently is
Operating drunk us upredicatable because most people do not do that because its retarded
A person is guilty of reckless driving who drives a motor vehicle on the highways in the Commonwealth (i) at a speed of 20 miles per hour or more in excess of the applicable maximum speed limit or (ii) in excess of 85 miles per hour regardless of the applicable maximum speed limit.VA law it's pretty unremarkable
it's just speeding
but Pika, the being drunk isn't the problem
it's the random lane changes, speed changes, ignoring stoplights, and driving over the line
that's the dangerous part
Honestly spooky, find me a guy who can, while perfectly drunk, drive as good or better than the average driver and I will conceed he should get a special excemption
to lets him drive drunk
I want laws which have a measurable thing you can violate, and I get that we love to demonize alcohol and all
but BAC level is dumb
I thought the dangerous part was the proven decrease in reaction time
which is kind of important when driving
