The days of cruising back roads and drinking beer are long gone is all I have to say. After the third time in less than 25 years they have no sense of humor about it.
They've fined me and charged me and I'm still paying for DUI. I was under the .08 limit all three times. But they treat me like I've killed someone. Hell, somebody can actually rape a poor child and get less total time of punishment and less fines than I have. It's simple injustice. I never hurt a soul. They simply don't like people breaking their rules is what all this amounts to.
Now I've just had a ignition interlock device installed and I'll be on a restricted license that I can only go to doctors, school, or DMV, or shop that installed the device. $85/mo. for 5 years. But there's hope - I've been told by those boys at the shop that some people get off after 3 years because they're "clean" so I'm hoping for that.
I don't even sip beer anymore. I've learned that I like to have too much "fun" when I'm drinking that shit and as a good ol hillbilly should, I go crazy with fun when I'm getting drunk. Never hurt nobody, just breaking "their" rules.
Hey! Y'all watch this! Here, hold my beer......
need I say more? lol
