[QUOTE="jdfisherman, post: 498212, member: 1475"] No offense to OP because this is not the first time I've heard it, but I struggle with labeling Driving Under the Influence as a "poor choice". Getting in a vehicle while impaired and running the risk of injuring or killing someone is far more than a poor choice. We wouldn't label leaving a gun around the house where a child could get to it as a poor choice. We act like getting a DUI charge is an unfortunate result of the action, like getting a speeding ticket. Most people think the speeding ticket is the cop's fault, and ignore the fact that the person was actually speeding. A lot of times a DUI charge gets thought about the same way. In my mind if you get a DUI you got off easy, as opposed to having to live with killing someone due to your recklessness. Off my soapbox now - carry on. [/QUOTE]
