    It's impossible to get drunk in Utah with the lower alcohol content?

    At least the offending driver was booked into Purgatory (Correctional Facility).

    Let's see...

    ...absolutely hideous trying to get in or out of the hideous Peelot in St. George...

    ...driver decides to parallel park on the street instead of entering the hideous parking lot...

    ...drunk "professional" driver fails to pretrip and a wheel comes off and ####s up the truck of the driver that parallel parked rather than deal with the absolutely hideous Peelot.

    Did I miss anything?
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    Some interesting wording in there. Yeah, I didnt buy the tipping over at 15 mph either. 55 mph and turned hard and any loaded trailer will be on its side.

    Fortunately the police will be able to reconstruct what really happened and the drunk will be out of work in no time.

    15 mph? And still had enough energy after it flipped to keep sliding until it hit the other trailer. Right.
