Local drunk driving wreck video - **graphic video**

Obviously it happens, I've just never talked with anyone before that it has happened to! I've never even met anyone with diplomatic immunity :lol:

There are several accidents that looks like in the movies does happen in real life.

Bad idea to think it is just limited to the movies.

I'm pretty sure I've got slim odds of being hit by anyone with diplomatic immunity :lol:

your odds will go up if you're within NYC area. where I work and live has tons of diplomats or those with diplomatic immunity. I've encountered quite a few reckless drivers and a couple drivers with terrible road rage.
 
Depends on where you live, Jiro for example is correct. My ex girlfriend was diplomat, and yes she had immunity even for parking ticket or whatever. Not anymore, she became American long time ago.

DC/MD/VA, NYC, Boston, Los Angeles generally have more diplomat people than the rest of the cities.

Im just referring general about accidents, and these kinds of accidents you seen in movies can happen in real life.

My wreck was in Pensacola, FL.

I hear that the diplomats in NYC area cost the city millions in unpaid parking fines.

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:

WOW Reba, seems like you need a dash cam to catch those arses!! I absolutely hate people who drink and drive. In most cases the drunk person doesn't get hurt, only the innocent people.

The highway looks not bad in Triangle cities - Durham, Raleigh and Chapel Hill.

It got pretty rough when you are in mountain area - after Asheville.

I think it must be Charlotte.
 
Got arrested for DUI during new year eve party for deaf back to 1990's.. Got fined for $1,000 and plus increase insurance rate for 10 years (changed policy to 5 years) and no revoke my driver license.

Judge ordered me go to special AA program for deaf. I met alot deafies who use drug abuse or addicits. I'm only one drunk driver.. ugh.

1990's is old california law but, changed law can revoke your driver license and increase fined up to $2,000 from $1,000.. I'm lucky.

Hubby has a camera on his motorcycle.

Diplomats are like zombies, they show up anywhere, you cannot stop them, disobeying all laws, and they refuse to reveal what they are up to. :P
 
I think all DUI offenses, even first time should sentence to hard labor camp - working hard to keep state beautiful.
