*proceeds to cry* haha

on a sidenote. I have gotten into cars where the driver has been impaired too. The worst things I did was when me and 2 other buds were going down from westwood plateau to poco we drank a 2'6 of vodka straight *including the driver*

there was some really scary moments involved.

It sounds like a good law... but after i thinks it is 30days... or 90 days(i cant remember) you can get your car back and go rate back to what you were doing befor your car got taken away...

No shit, whenever I'm hammered and I try to take public transit home I often end up in some god-awful place like Surrey, with some figure of authority telling me I missed the last bus/train whatever.

I take a cab if I can, but sometimes I'm just too fuckin' broke.

^ Ya they reallyt need to fix up transit instead of just raising the fares but keeping everything as shitty as it is.

It wasnb't this bad in 96. I could catch the owl service 150 at like 3 am and still get home.

now if i miss anything past 1am i'm screwed

I'm as guilty as anyone for having been behind the wheel while DUI.

I've been lucky not to have been in any accidents and made it through a few roadblocks even.

Recently I have realized how stupid I am for doing this and have decided to crash at a friends place to sober up or pay the cost of a cab, hotel room to do so.

I don't want to be one of those that have to take a significant loss due to an DUI incident before I open my eyes and change my ways. Just close your eyes and think about how it would feel to lose someone that you hold most dear due to another driver being DUI or evern worse, while you are DUI, and I think you might understand where I am coming from.

I hope some of you can make the same decision now as well.

Thing is though just because your not in a car with a drunk driver does not mean your gonna be safe.

This world is so dangerous to just be walking anywhere cars go.

Now this is just being paranoid.

One might as well lock themselve in a room and pray an earthquake doesn't come and collapse the building on them.

Or pray a plane doesn't fall out of the sky and hit them.

Or hope they don't fall down, twist their ankle, have a complication and die.

im sorry, who are you? angela? angela who????

for someone who is so close with mike and his friends... i find it a bit funny how you don't even know what happened???

he didn't pull the e-brake because he thought it would be fun.... he was coming down pipeline at 150km an hour past the spca.. didn't see the median... johney yelled for him to turn he swerved into the oncoming traffic lane to the left (thank god noone was out at that time) and he then locked the brakes and slid into the tree..... and they hit the curb before the tree... and thats what sent devin through the back windshield saving his life.... if he was wearing a seatbelt he would have died for sure.. his side of the car was totalled..

Yes i was friends with him, the story i got was from a very close friend of mikes, im sorry if i didnt get the death of my friend all that right! Everyone hears different things..and that was the story i got.. not alot of ppl wanted to talk about it to begin with..

i wish it wasnt true at all ... But if thats the story u got then either way its horrible to hear..
Mikes death could of been prevented...sadly though...
i guess it was just his time to go ...

wow ..

tonight was probably the most saddest, and one of the most horrible nitez ever....it never really hit me until tonight..i went to mikes viewing.. it didnt even seem like he was dead.. all i could do was sit there an listen to all the ppl cry, and think about the times shared with him..

For the ppl who do decide to drive drunk or on drugs or anything...PLZ think twice about steping into a car and driving. or even doing anything like that..if you can barely walk, then wat makes ppl think that they can drive...
im not gonna sit hear and type about how its wrong and wat not..cuz i'v driven with ppl who were drunk and high..
all im saying is.. before doing somthing like driving with a drunk person...jus think wat mite happen.. think of the consequences.. even if its stupid who cares..if it saves ur life..then w.e!

I've had 3 friends die in the past year for drinkin and driving, I definitely think twice about getn into a car with n e one thats had anything to drink. I 'd rather walk home and get home safely then drive with a a drunk driver who's risking my life and the lives of others.

What disguts me is that some of you say " oh i wasnt that wasted so i was ok to drive home" how the hell do u know how wasted you are???? alcohal clouds your judgement. Just because you arnt falling on the ground hammered, doesnt mean that you arnt impaired enough to pherhaps miss that stop sign or run that red light... Everyone should re-evaluate drinking and driving and getting in the car with someones whos been drinking.... just cause they say they are fine to drive doesnt mean thats true!! they are the one drinking for christsake! Id rather call a close friend or family member to come get me at like 3 in the morn then get in the car with a drunk driver. yes your parents might be pissed at first but chances are they will be proud of you for making a responsible situation.

the odds of getting hit by a car are significant compared to the chance of getting caught in an earthquake.

Maybe its just me but i've had enough close calls to say its fairly safe to say its very dangerous out on the streets now I still go out but there have been so many people run off the streets by drivers.

It always helps to worry

those are some very good points. Its like saying I'm not sketchy i'm fine i'm fine. Even drivign with sketchy people arent' a good idea either and i ain't talking about a little e high i'm talking about sketchy as in driving into oncoming traffic without realising it...
