FF 2, your statement was presumptive. You must be implying you follow wreckless drivers. Exactly the differance we are talking about. If there was no differance I suspect you would be sitting outside the bars at night following people home because you should certainly suspect them as well.

Not neccessarily, I have been driving in the daytime and of an evening, both while working and in my private time, and called on folks who have been driving eratically from texting to eating to drinking alcohol. I have been involved in a crash with a impaired driver where the local Police would not do anything, probally because it was 2 minor to do a report on and the cops could not put the subject behind the wheel. As for sitting outside the bar to prevent folks drinking and driving, no I don't do that. I would venture to guess that the victims both those at fault and their families and those innocent drivers sure wish I or someone else had, to to prevent their loved ones death or injury. Take a look at the RIP markers that mark where deaths have occured along our highways as a silent reminder of what you or I can do to prevent an injury or death. So as you defend those who feel they are being unfairly targeted, remember you have a right to a JURY of your PEERS. Good luck.

"fighting MADD"
moral right don't discount it please.
Take the time to read it.
States the founder of MADD and names her, later joined the liquer lobby site MADD as out of control.
One of the statements they make is the term liquor related accident only means someone had any level of alcohol. It does not mean the accident was a direct result of wreckless driving by one who had liquor in blood.
This reminded me of new 98 construction. I was a witness to it. My friends and family constantly made comments about pour temporary traffic control throughout that construction. I hate to make this comparison but I have to. For some reasons in the north, road construction traffic control must be much more regulated then it was here. The differance was night and day. This project had the worst temp protection I have ever seen.
With that said I wonder how many of those accidents could have been prevented by quality temp markings and signals. Didn't it get so bad the cops sat at the medians with their lights flashing for some time. How many of those accidents were blamed on alcohol rather then what might have been the real problem? Lousy traffic control by the contractor or the state.
The SO in the medians watching traffic instead of directing it is another conversation altogether. If you open up a thread about it, I'm sure the discussion will prove quite lively. Although that was quite a time ago.
