Monday night in Palm Desert, watching TV and outside a loud bang,thud,crunch.
I go outside and see two headlites sideways. After I get there, a girl in her PJs is standing in the car. All of the windows are up and the doors are locked. Opened the door finally after she was able to unlock it. She takes off, and runs up the street. Returns later after the Police and Fire Dept and Paramedics arrive, with her boyfirend, who is going ballistic when he see's the car. Police stop by my house at midnight to get a report. Apparently she blew 3Xs the alcohol legal limit. Costly evening for this young lady. CCLINSUNNYSAMP Attached image(s)

She may not get hit with the DUI.
My wife had an accident once right around the corner from our house, was not feeling well, momentarily passed out and hit a smallish tree. Someone saw the accident, got her out of the car and drove her the last 1/2 mile home. Within minutes, as she is in tears explaining what happened to me, there was a knock on the door. Local deputy asking about the accident, having traced the plates on the car. I invited him in and we explained what happened and he, in no uncertain language explained that she better get back to the accident scene before she gets charged with leaving the scene (no other car involved). Long story short, he calmed down considerably when she returned to the scene and they could tell there was no alcohol involved. As I waited for the tow truck to take the car away, the cop explained that what pissed them off the most is that when someone who is DUI/DWI and leaves the scene, even though they know the person was DUI, they cant charge them with that offense because the person can say they were not drunk and the time, but were so upset they went to the nearest bar, home, etc and downed several drinks, so yes, they may be over limit now, but not then. |

I had a friend in San Jose that found out he was loosing his job. On the way home, he got rear ended slightly. No real damage and they exchanged info. He went home and got drunk (upset about loosing his job). The next morning (or quite awhile later don't remember) the police showed up. He admitted he was currently drunk but not when he was in the accident. The other person had had another accident after his accident (maybe intentional) and claimed all the damage was caused by my friend. He was in very serious trouble. He could not prove he was not drunk at the time of the accident. Sounds wrong and I do not know how it all ended but I remember he was facing serious consequences. |

That's why you should always fill out a police report immediately. Its the only thing that can save you ass in those occasions. |
