Ok, so he was drunk, get his license taken off him and give him a fine. He didn't kill his friend. He was the driver. His friend must have been totally out of it to be sticking his head out the window, which was nothing to do with the driver. Passengers have to take responsibility for themselves.

How can the passenger take responsibility when the driver swerves towards a roadside object? As Timber pointed out, it's quite possible the passenger was barfing at the time. In that case, hanging your head out the window would be the logical thing to do.

Telephone cables are NOT placed close enough to the road to present a physical hazard, even if some idiot does stick his head out the window. The bottom line is that the driver is 100% responsible for the death of his friend because he swerved the car closer to the edge of the road while his friend was hanging out the window. Chances are, the friend never saw the cable coming.

Well, Cerek, Guy Wires are often placed too close to the road, IMO. Of course I crashed into one once upon a time, doing $2000 worth of damage to my first car -- so I'm jaded on the topic. I also CAD drafted for the phone company before, so I've drawn the plans for hundreds.

He will have a hard time cleaning up the blood.

I'm wondering if he knew what happened. It never says anything about vehicular damage. Just wondering since friend didn't respond when he got home, if that meant he was going to remain in the truck for the night.

But I also just wonder if this guy is ever going to make it to.....

I just looked through the AP site, and I cant find this article. Could you put a link to the source Nightwing? Thanks.

I did find this.

Eeeee.... that's not good.
That's why you should not drink and drive... instead of crashing into a pole you might get your friends head chopped off.

Dron_Cah · 09-15-2004, 11:31 PM

uh, yeah. Ya know, Lauren, I'd bet the next ad slogan against drunk driving says just that!

Azeral · 09-15-2004, 11:38 PM

man could you imagine how much that would mess with your head

Greeeat, now the bad puns start. (And yes, on a serious note, whatever happens, the driver will be haunted for the rest of his life.)
