And it&#039;s maddening to know that if the driver has a good lawyer he&#039;ll see little time behind bars. Anyone want to make a bet that the first thing his lawyer says, after &quot;he&#039;s really a good guy,&quot; is that there was a problem with the truck. </p><p><br /></p><p>In many countries, driving drunk leads to an immediate trip to jail for a year. No excuses, do not pass go, tough luck. I had a friend working construction on the LI Expressway who was crippled for life by a drunk driver who drove onto the expressway while it was closed for construction. The driver served no time in jail because of a technicality, his blood alcohol level wasn&#039;t tested within a mandated time after the accident. His blood alcohol level was still beyond legal limits when tested in the hospital hours later. The driver also happened to be a highly placed police officer. </p><p><br /></p><p>There is a special place in hell for drunk drivers who kill innocent victims. Sorry for the rant but this is a topic that is near and dear to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
