Whats up i post here once in a while and last night something happened that i wanted to share with people because i don't want you guys to make the same mistake. My buddy had been drinking a lot and when we left the club i couldn't convince him not to drive and i myself couldn't drive because i don't know how to drive stick. I got in his car and when we went to get on the highway we were going way too fast on the ramp like 70 mph in his new WRX. He lost control and we slid off the road my side of the car smacked a lamp post then the car flipped four times and we landed up right. I climbed out the window, luckily i had my seatbelt on, we had the windows down i was covered in dirt and my face was sore from the airbag. Then my buddy was so drunk that he tried driving away and his car was smoking it was smashed everywhere the trunk was popped and halfway off, his front bumper was 10 yards away and his windshield was smashed off. Then he got out of the car i told him that he had ed up and he started to fight me! I left the scene and these people came and called 911. I came back to scene like 20 minutes later with a friend and there was cops everywhere. We were both extremely lucky its a miracle that i'm sitting here typing this with some bruises and a scratch, he got off with nothing. Since there was no wheel witness nobody can say he was driving so he got no ticket, no DUI or jail time, thats just the way the law is. Guys please don't ever let your friends drive drunk or yourself drive while drinking its stupid and completely irresponsible, i had driven and rode with drunk people many times but i will never again. Don't wait till something like this happens, if you drink be responsible. |
Your friend is a complete and utter ing idiot and you are too. |

how though? do you judge your limits before you start drinking? like have a set limit? or see how you feel?
the thread starters friend clearly felt he knew his limits aswell, he got that one a bit wrong though. |

| i know we're pretty stupid but i learned my lesson and i hope that all you guys don't wait till somethingl like this happens. I used to think that there was a "limit" to how much you can drink and then drive but thats not true once you begin consuming alcohol the keys need to get put away. i need to go to the chiro the alcohol wore off and my neck is stiff and my chest and back hurt... |

| You should've acted as the 'witness' and told the police that he was drunk and driving. |

well it comes down to experience. I've been testing my limits since 15, and now, almost 10 years later i think I almost got it down.
im not acting like I have always known what to do, I have gotten pulled over and warned and I have been busted myself. just takes time. and while that time is going on, you have to listen to the older 'wiser' crowd make fun of you.
hehe. |

I'm glad you're ok and that it seems like this has been a valuable learning experience for you. I hope that your friend has learned his lesson as well. For him to do this same thing again would be absolute stupidity - to do it the first time was dumb enough - but to repeat it would be deserving of the backlash life can sometimes offer. I'm sure you know what I'm referring to.
It would be best if you learned how to drive stick from now on - or just take your car. ;)
(like you'll be taking his car anywhere, anytime soon :stongue: ) |

consider you and your friend VERY lucky that you walked away from this. something similar happened to me once on motorcycle: i got speed wobbles and flipped while i was going 70mph and walked away with minor scratches. |
