Ok, so I work in a bar and last night I got pretty drunk before heading home. I guess I was speeding (about 45 in a 30), and I got pulled over. Oh crap, I was sure that I was going to jail.
Officer: "You been drinking tonight?"
Me: "I had a beer after work."
Officer: "Step out of the car please."
I was pretty buzzed so I thought for sure I was going down. I had a mint and everything so I figured I looked real guilty. He did a quick field sobriety test, a short version, and then told me to get back in my car. I was wearing these rope sandals that he thought were crappy, and when he came back to my car he was like, " I just have one question, where did you get those sandals?" He gave me a warning for speeding and told me to have a good night. One more day of freedom.

I wish I could get so lucky every night. I felt like the shit all night after that because my adrenaline was pumping. Better than drugs.

Good grief. You may want to keep a list of cab companies handy-- I wouldn't count on that kind of luck again!

I know, I know. I usually always cab it too. It's just not worth the risk, but this time I just wanted to go home after work.....not a good excuse.

Well, good to know that nothing happened and that you're safe. Just don't do it again!

DUI = not cool. I know too many people that have been caught so I don't do it myself. You are quite lucky. Consider this your get out of jail free card.

In Ohio they make people arrested for DUI drive around (after they get their license back, that is), with these bright yellow with red letter plates. Our plates here are normally white with blue letters, so they stick out like a sore thumb.
Nothing like public humiliation...surprised the ACLU hasn't sued the state on behalf of drunk drivers!

Also if you get a DUI here in the States Canada won't let you in. Not for like 5 years because it is a Federal Crime up there.
A friend of mine found that out after driving 5 hours to the border.

How would they possibly know? Our own state law enforcement rarely shares that kind of info with eachother or the feds.
