DUI Poll

[Tonchi]

Ever since the District Attorney here was forced to "retire" after being charged with two DUI's, things have tightened up inside town anyway. Fortunately, by that time I had given up the hard stuff for medical reasons, and will have nothing to worry about if I'm caught in one of the DUI roadblocks. But for the most part the other folks have not put 2 + 2 together and keep blissfully weaving their way right into them, even though the locations are published in the paper the night before, proof that some people are just too dumb to stay in the gene pool. Around here, it is considered hazardous duty to be on a Caltrans crew at night, I've been told that every 10 minutes they get a major fright from some drunk driver hurtling off the road right at them like moths to a flame.

Lookout123 will appreciate the drive-carefully advice I was given when I moved to Arizona. I was told that half the vehicles on the road were motorized wheelchairs steered by a senior citizen and in the other half the driver is drunk. After driving for 11 years there, I have to admit that the seniors gave me far more bad moments than the drunks ever did.
