The count is in!!

Over the long Memorial Day weekend, the number of DUIs is greater than DUIs that happened last year. In some places, the number of DUIs reached into the hundreds. Most of the cops will tell you though that the objective is not revenue, but safe driving. DUIs do kill people, innocent and guilty. I'm really curious to see what 4th of July has in store for the record.

Driving on the Sidewalk

In Chicago, some young woman was so intoxicated, she drove through a chain link fence over the side walk and came to a stop on the sand of Centennial Beach. Apparently she had weed and a pipe in the car as well and was arrested for possesion as well as intoxicated driving(DWI).

These are the kind of things I hate to miss. I mean, chain-link looks forgiving, but it can really mess things up. She had to have been driving really fast. Thank god I wasn't there, because I'd probably be laughing too hard.

Cinco De Mayo Fiestas y Checkpoints

Tomorrow is yet another American Holiday we've all been waiting for. Cinco de Mayo is a time for Magaritas, Coronas and Tequila shots, but be careful because those drinks can really come back to you like a boomerang strapped with dynamite. Before you now it, you'll take two steps and end up face-planting the floor. Just be careful because there will be several checkpoints out there waiting to pop you for drunk driving. Jail cells are going to be packed with DUI criminals, one drink shy of last call. It only means that you are going to need an attorney afterwards and there are several places to come up on one. You can always check this out. Also if anyone knows of any checkpoints that may happen, post them up!!
