How could you teach idiots to not drink and drive?
 
On brighter side, there are actually much fewer drunk drivers out there nowadays than when it was 40 years ago. Thats because of DWI laws got much stiffer than it was 40 years ago.

Here in this thread, who are gonna pay for this injuries? These victims are likely to be stuck with medical bills, is it appropriate calling them for being irresponsible for being stuck with high medical bills?

I'm just saying that our health care billing system needs to be hauled, cause we all will always share the burden of expenses one way or other. That way there won't be fuss up who pay who for what.

irresponsible? well yes because they don't have an insurance.

you know what an insurance is for, right? to protect you from unfortunate event. if a person does not have an insurance.... well he's SOL!

Yep automatically at least 1 year suspension in NC for a first offense ... and pay all costs including a restoration fee when eligible to get the drivers license back

EDIT: even if someone refuses to take a breathalyzer test or have blood drawn its still an automatic 1 year suspension
 
EVEN if victim has health insurance, health insurance will most likely refuse cover them and will decline all doctor requests and fight all the way in the court until Judge decides. This can drag them for a long time. Why? It is because health insurance view this as separate insurance category and point to automobile insurance. If there isn't any, then victims gets screwed

Yes its called highway use tax and you have to pay it when you register or transfer a car ... or get a plate if its been untagged awhile ... then renewal for my firefighter tag is $39 a year to renew it ... then to top it off the county sends you a tax bill every year ... if you don't pay the county taxes they'll the DMV will block renewal till its paid ... plus the vehicle has to be inspected every year before the tag can be renewed ... i think its $40 for that now

I think it's only irresponsible if you can afford it and don't have it. But yes that is exactly why people have insurance.

He's talking about this page

Personally I think it was good advice you gave. here's the quote:
"I'll clarify. There are many hospitals. You should do a better research in advance so that you'll know which hospital to go that are in-network or has generous payment plan."
 
I hate drunk drivers. The people that I've know that have been in accidents because they where drinking seem to have no remorse about it. They get upset that they are being punished and complain about all they have to go through. Makes me so mad! Also makes me wonder if it's the alcohol impairment that makes them think they are ok to drive or if they are just that stupid anyway. Needles to say they are not friend of mine!

Yes, and take away the license.

This driver didn't have a license to begin with. Sadly, taking away a license doesn't stop some people from driving and creating more mayhem.

Two of the car wrecks I had were because the other drivers were probably drinking but one was hit and run (and the driver was seen throwing empty alcohol containers out the window), and the other was tested and had blood alcohol BUT the driver had diplomatic immunity as a foreign "guest of the government" so he couldn't be punished. :mad:

Wow! I thought that only happened in movies!

I wish! :lol:

The guy with diplomatic immunity was an Iranian flight student (during the reign of the Shah of Iran) who was being trained by the US Navy on the base where I lived and worked. (I have more stories about them.) He crossed four lanes to hit me head on with his older model (meaning heavy) Lincoln Continental. I was driving a little two-seater, new, Porsche 914. It had a mid-engine, behind the passenger compartment, so the empty front end just crumpled up. No injuries though. :)

I forgot to mention that the DUI video happened on the same street where another driver once threatened to kill Hubby while they sat at a red light! (That was an incident separate from my car wreck on that street.)

Also, on an entrance ramp from that same street, connecting to the interstate, my Jeep was rammed by an impatient driver, who then tried to run over me when I got out to look for damage.

I absolutely hate driving that street but it's the only one connecting our home to the street to our church and to the college where I used to work and where we are now students. It's also notorious for pedestrian fatalities. We've had some close calls with people running, walking, and staggering into traffic.

Last month, Hubby and I were on the motorcycle, and almost got creamed at the intersection to our church. We had a green left-turn arrow (right of way) when a woman driving from the other direction, and had a red light, decided she was going to force her way across the intersection. Even when she stopped inches from us, she kept creeping forward, trying to push us out of the way! At the same time, she was screaming at us and waving her arms at us.

...and people wonder why I prefer to take on-line classes. :lol:
 
Update:

CHARLESTON, SC -
Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said Felix Garcia-Romero is a citizen of Mexico.

Director VIncent Picard said after Saturday's accident they began working with the detention center to put a detainer on Garcia-Romero, which means after the criminal proceedings in the U.S. he'll be turned over to ICE.

Saturday's accident injured seven victims who were standing at the scene of an accident on Ashley Phosphate Saturday morning. According to the police report, a fire truck was blocking the scene and Garcia-Romero allegedly swerved to miss the truck. Instead he crashed into several teenagers and EMS workers.

In the dashcam video provided by North Charleston Police, you see Garcia-Romero can barely stand as an officer reads him Miranda Rights and paramedics tend to the victims.

Of those injured: several teenagers, and Darin Kingery, a 12-year-veteran of the North Charleston Fire Department.

Kingery is still in the Intensive Care Unit in critical condition.

Another firefighter, Joshua Sader, who has been with the department for six months, was treated and released the night of the crash. He has returned to duty.

The civilian patients were transported from the scene by both Charleston County EMS and Dorchester County EMS to MUSC, Trident Hospital and Summerville Medical Center.

News 2 spoke with Aerial Hayward Monday and she said she was hoping to be dismissed from the hospital this week.

The department's preliminary investigation into the crash that occurred at 3940 Ashley Phosphate Rd. indicates the fire engine was placed on the roadway in a defensive position, and the firefighters on scene were wearing ANSI approved reflective vests, per department guidelines. The reflective material of the vests provide higher visibility of emergency workers, especially at night.

The North Charleston Police Department is handling the crash investigation. They said Garcia-Romero was driving without a license and expired insurance.
