Regardless of the crash, drinking alcohol while driving is a shit move, even if you make it to your destination without an incident.
I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone would differently after drinking one or two selects (which was the equivalent to what I had in my system by the time I drove).
Because no-one in their early tweens speeds while they're sober.

Okay, good. lolIs it just me or is backfire the only one who seems to have read my OP well enough to pick up on why the crash actually happened?
I barely read your OP at all. I just assumed you crashed because you were going stupidly fast in a zone that had a low speed limit for what I assumed is a good reason.
I was being one of the few hundred thousand reckless-drivers that day.
Doing what other people do (if it's wrong) isn't an excuse. That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying most of the people here except for Time are being hypocrites.
But to label the culprit as alcohol would be erroneous.
Have you ever sped; Abnormal, Digi, Robtard, BackFire, etc?
Then shut up, you hypocrites. lol

There is a difference between going 60 in a 55 mph zone and going 60 in a 25 MPH zone. I generally try to obey the speed limits. You should as well, they aren't just arbitrarily assigned to random streets.

No, it actually is true. Alcohol affects your judgment and reaction-time among other things, so using the "I only had a few" is a cowardly excuse.
Just don't drink if you're going to drive, really not that hard to do. Basket weaving is likely far more difficult.
Originally posted by BackFireYou've never gone more than 5mph over the speed-limit. Okay, now I know all of you are full of shit.

I thought you said me going 60 was an assumption?
That's how fast I said I was going in the OP, but to tell you the truth I said 60 mph out of exaggeration. There's no way I could have actually been going that fast. It was a sharp ass curve, and I probably was speeding; but I know for a fact I wasn't going in excess of 20 miles above the speed limit.
The only err in judgement was not going under the speed limit, given the conditions.
You can blame that on my ego, not a poor cognitive performance or lack of knowledge.

Regardless, drinking and driving is still a c**t move *PERIOD*
Also, you said: "If I'd blown .002 higher I'd be ****ed right now", that's cutting it extremely close.
It is very possible that you were over the legal limit when you crashed and by the time you took the breathalyzer your body had time to metabolize the alcohol in your system just enough for you to avoid arrest. You were that close to going back to jail with all the handsome buff men.
