One of the things I have never understood about drunk driving is the crash survive-ability factor. People who have limited or no injuries in horrific crashes while really drunk.

Not sure why you'd pay anything more than a deductible.
Homeowners insurance should cover it.
They have a choice about going after the teens for compensation.
If you don't have insurance, well then, I guess you're paying.
Unless you have a picture or camera footage of who's driving.
Because they don't tense up prior to the crash. They stay loose and roll with the punches.

.PBT results cannot be used against you in court. They are only to confirm the presence of ETOH. I'm not sure why people are afraid of catching a DUI stone sober. If you are not giving any behavior of intoxication (driving or otherwise) I'm not going to have you go through SFST's.A Leo in my reserve unit gave me a FST one day out of boredom at drill. Long story short I can’t balance or do tricks very well. It was his advice that I just ask to be taken in for the certified breathalyzer. Said trying to do the dog and pony show or a PBT might result in a DUI even if I pass the certified one at the station.

...When the cops got there, I told them I didn't know if he was okay or not and the first thing he said was, "He's drunk. You can't hurt a drunk."

Some people take prescribed narcotics as directed by a doctor.
Who defines if they are high? A blood test which only measures amount in their system? People form tolerances and different body types. Also people who take these meds for the right reasons a lot of times have impairments that would cause them to looks like michael J. Fox in a field sobriety test.
So why might a sober person not want to submit to any field sobriety test? Thats why. Just because you have narcotics in your system doesn't mean you are impaired.
I hate drunk or impaired drivers. Ive lost a very close friend to a drunk driver and its senseless. I honestly would like the government to hang repeat drunk drivers.
I would never drive if felt even the slightest foggy or had drank more than 1 drink within a couple hours. Just the way Ive always operated.

Thats going to take like 60% of drivers off the road if they start going at it like that. Maybe they should so that the law gets changed to be more reasonable.When it comes to operating with prescription meds on board, there are a couple factors that come into play. First, there is a difference between a therapeutic dose of a drug and a “recreational dose”. Also, the little warning on the bottle that says not to operate vehicles or equipment while taking that drug is binding, and here’s why; in the LE world the definition of a “drug” is ‘any substance that when taken into the human body impairs a persons ability to operate a vehicle safely’. Just because a person has a scrip for a drug does not give them a free pass to put everyone else on the road in danger. The criminal code in Indiana simply states that operating while impaired is a crime, period.
Just checked a bottle of meds. It says, "use caution when operating a vehicle ...... MAY cause drowsiness"
I think that's the kicker. May. And user discretion.
Like I said if I ever felt drowsy or foggy on a med I wouldn't be driving a vehicle.
If actual ****bags can drive drunk and get away with it over and over and back in a car legally and our justice system is going to start ****ing with drivers with injuries and disabilities then we need to start retiring some folks and hiring new ones
