Drove my truck drunk today

In the 80"s lot's of drivers were driving under the influence in the new england states drinking & smoking was pretty common back then....

Before the drug test era things were let's say different.....

 

With the way some drivers can't stay in their lane how can you tell the difference?

 

I work in the oilfield One night we were sitting around waiting for our dispatch to find us loads we waited a hour and still no call from the customer so dispatch says hell let's go to the bar right next to our yard so we got the whole night shift in there and I'm sipping keystroke because I'm cheap lol then dispatch made the mistake of telling us our company owner was buying our drinks all night I went from sipping keystone to slamming crown and coke we were hammered then dispatch says alright crew I got a call they need y'all asap I looked at him and said ain't no way my drunk ### is jumping in That cab needless to say The customer had to wait

 

Actually that isn't true. All I can tell you about is California, but California Vehicle Code 23152(a) says

Now it does not differentiate between public or private property. And while it is unlikely that a LEO would come onto private property and enforce this, there are instances where it has been done and will continue to be done. A case in point, is an injury or fatal accident. Another case in point, is where some richard cranium is creating some type of disturbance or other problem on private property, (such as a golf course, for example,) and the property owner/manager calls the cops on him. Yeah, you CAN be busted for drunk driving in a golf cart on a golf course. A bit of a reach? Yes, but it has happened, and will happen again.

 

Bottem line if you're goin to enjoy a few use commen sence .

 

You're way better off, man. That guy clearly cared nothing for you, but certainly for that load of inanimate junk which he'd have risked your life for. Bottom line: #### that guy. With a serrated stick.

 

I need some popcorn and a beer

 

Hi Big Don,
I guess DWI laws vary from state to state. Here is the DWI law in Texas.

Sec. 49.04. DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED. (a) A person commits an offense if the person is intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle in a public place.

(40) "Public place" means any place to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access and includes, but is not limited to, streets, highways, and the common areas of schools, hospitals, apartment houses, office buildings, transport facilities, and shops.

 

About a month ago a driver pulled up to our yard dropped his trailer and Bob tailed to a spot to park. He smashed into a truck bobtail backing. He was drunk, they called the cops and did a field sobriety right in our yard. Cya.
