For the record, I want credit for completely derailing this thread. :D

When I drive, I drive...giving it my undivided attention. Sorry if it's not PC to say, but distracted women seem to be the primary road hazard here in SOCAL. Not because they are women, but because they are doing EVERYTHING BUT DRIVING when they should be DRIVING. One of them even rear ended me last month...yes she was on her phone.
Well, here in NY, the WORST drivers are the young "men," who think the rules of the road don't apply to them. Oh, and I guess "men" don't use their cellphones while driving. :rolleyes: Gimme a break! So I guess what you're saying is you drive better after a couple of beers than women drive sober...:confused: I'm sooo glad I don't live near you! :D

my wife's coworker (she's a prosecutor) did what is called a wet lab where you basically drink and blow into a Breathalizer every hour or so. it took him over 14 beers to reach the .08BAC. he knew far before he reached the legal limit that he should be nowhere near a moving vehicle.

are you saying that you can drink a 12-pack in short order and still be good to drive a vehicle, or control something in 3 dimensions that's moving 320kts?

it's people like you that make responsible drinkers shake their heads in shame.
thats the most asinine comment ive ever heard. it might take 14 beers to reach .8 but not .08. it takes the average size male 2 beers in an hour to reach .08.

rickair you are 100% right, the way the law is written is ridiculous, but thats just in line with all the other ridiculous laws written these days.

Thanks for all the info everyone, I passed it along to my student who was very grateful for some advise from people in the field. He's intouch with a lawyer and didn't blow, so he should have a good shot. For the record, in chicago everyone seems to drive like they are above .08 male or female...

Sure we do. We just don't crash.

Ha Ha. VERY funny! FWIW, I think I read somewhere that women were better at multi-tasking than men. I'm able to drive and talk too. So far, I have a spotless driving record as well...

Obviously, parking is another thing women are no good at...
