    Cop better not bother Me while I’m having a beer. I know the Law. I’ll set him straight quick!!! Then I’ll wake up in jail and apologize post bail and go back to my Sober Life!!! That’s Why I don’t drink at all.34 yrs without so much as a beer. All this talk sure makes a Guy thirsty!! Best wishes over Holidays drink responsibly or not at all. Have one for Me. Enjoy

    If your going to drop a dime on someone, just make sure it's for a good reason.

    With all due respect, same TS could get hit with an earthquake. A group of terrorists could shoot it up. Or the North Koreans could launch a nuclear-tipped ICBM and take out 4 states. You can't live your life this way. Because living with this kind of caution is adjusting a lifestyle you will see 99.99% of the time just so you don't see yourself in a bad situation in that odd circumstance you might see once in a lifetime. I rather just stay on the porch!

    If you have had a few beers and find yourself in a situation like this you take the appropriate action. In the unlikely event this was to happen I have a serious doubt a police officer will be checking. Get parked ASAP and log the time and why in the comments after. If you are snockered totally out of it you should just abandon the truck and get the heck out.

    Except, the scenario I gave was a very real possibility on that particular night. As far as abandoning your truck, try explaining to your company why you left the truck when you could have driven it away.

    Yeah Ok Just shut that video off already. I cant even read you're posts anymore. I'm sure you have some good points but they're just squelched by that obnoxious video. It's not funny or clever. Enough already...SMH.

    I know. I have had fire and weather to interrupt my rest time too. You try to avoid it if you can. However I am still going to stand on my main point. I will not adjust my lifestyle based on some fringe situation. Oh, of course, if there is a real danger of having to evacuate I'm not drinking. In my case like I said before I very rarely drank in my truck. As it was I was taking fluid pills and did not need to add urine problems.
