Drunk Drivers...

Hey OP, not tryin to thread jack but i gots a question for you Kodiak, if someone was road raging me and contacted his vehicle with mine, would I be within my rights to use my vehicle to defend myself?

 

Depends on what CA law has to say about them using their vehicle as a deadly weapon against you, and if you can articulate that you were in fear of imminent serious bodily injury.

 

Is riding a bike drunk really against the law? Or are you referring to a motorcycle?

 

You did the right thing, and yes they take the calls seriously, at least in my area. I've called a few times and each time a cop was there very quickly. I don't like doing it, never was one to tattle but dui ain't no joke. it's sad how many grown adults will go out and have a few drinks and drive home.

 

That's kinda what i thought, there was a Cali LEO that posted a little earlier. Tell you what OP I'm gonna take my question over to the LEO BS thread

 

If he hits you first, I guess....? Why would you start playing bumper cars to settle a little pissing match?

This is why my shifter knob is a de-milled grenade. *If people give me shit on the road, I can unscrew it, roll the window down, go to pull the pin, and by that time they should back off*. My buddy did that with his shifter grenade quite successfully lol

*NOTE: I haven't actually done this yet. I don't even have my shifter yet, my buddy is working on it*

 

Long story short they broke into our stadium to play soccer on our new field

 

this is been my experience when calling in a dui, not something you guys mess around with, and from good reason.

 

These are all good comments, and I'm enjoying reading them..

I know it's all relative but like I said, it just amazes me how I drove the entire Alcan with no incidents at all. The last few days I've been tailgated, cutoff, etc. Sure, I know that the traffic is all relative being close to a densely populated area, but still. WTF.

Believe me man, I was the first to chase after someone for cutting me off, tailgating me etc; and stuff like this still pisses me off to no end. Friend of mine had a .45 pulled on him after a road rage incident had escalated.

Bottom line - I know that it feels good to brake check, chase after/scare the asshole who road raged you... But, in the end is it really worth possibly causing an accident/trashing your truck, etc. to prove a "point".

Not trying to flame anybody...

I don't drive a hot rod. If someone is enough of a dick to drive like an asshole, I pull over and let them go. So be it...

 

As far as I know your under the influence operating something so yes. Right kodiak?

 

Roger.

 

Hell, you can get arrested on a riding lawn mower! I've seen it on cops plenty of times..

 

My question was rhetorical in the sense that I was not in a pissing match or trying to one-up somebody, anyways, it's over in the LEO BS thread to toss around

 

Gotchya!

 

Sounds like she's talking about a motorcycle, and yes, operating any vehicle or any motor vehicle whilst intoxicated is against the law.

 

Wheelchair????

 

Riding driving under the influence is illegal in anything lol

 

There is one lol, its called the LEO BS thread

 

Skateboard?????

 

I think so, I know riding a skateboard will do the trick here in HB...
