Any big lot would do. Insurance waivers- you make it a lot more complicated than it has to be. Biggest expense would be sandbags, cones & staff, but if it's a test offered when only 50 applicants have signed up, you're talking twice a year or so (face it, MOST peeps could not begin to pass this test).

You should. What if he had a worse scrape and faced a few years prison time out of it. In that time Joss decides to re-ignite Firefly with all the remaining cast, and Alan isn't available.....Oh wait Wash is dead anyway. Nevermind.

Byte has good points about personal responsability.
I can't walk a straight line anyway, good thing I can't drive. :)
But yeah, there has to be a standard by which to measure, or else it becomes subjective and people will "play favorites"

Y'all need to read the news a little more often. My car was hit from behind by a "buzzed" driver comin home from MY birthday party 6 years ago. If it weren't for hubby's quick thinking, it really could have been serious as we were first in line at a stop light at a busy intersection...
You wanna regulate who can drive buzzed and who can't??? Good luck with that... I'm sure the idiot who hit US thought he was good to go too.

Driving tests have a tester in the car too. I doubt they'd be happy signing an insurance waiver. The DMV's insurance rates would go up based on the testing alone. Then there would probably be medical staff on hand for the tester mostly. Not all driving conditions can be replicated with cones anyway. How do you change lanes and check blind spots with cones? It would probably be better to have moving obstacles really.

Yes, Big Brother is always right...Romans 13 and Adolf Hitler said so.
Rules for Drivers during traffic stops:
1. Never confess to drinking even 1 sip of alcohol (sucker alert)
2. never admit to eating dinner at a restaurant that serves alcohol
3. never speak to cops since "odor of alcohol" does not exist
4. never volunteer for Field Sobriety Tests that have no passing score and there is no punishment for refusal (sucker alert)
5. never volunteer for breath alcohol tests where the failing score is 0.00% or above and such tests cannot even measure alcohol (scam alert). A person is already under arrest for DUI before an alcohol test is given (scam alert), and charges are never dismissed against innocent people for risk of being sued for false arrest (scam alert).
Alan Tudyk didn't read Rule #4, and probably Rules 1,2,3.

BTW there is no law against drinking and driving.

"One of the major defects in many methods of blood-alcohol analysis is the failure to identify ethanol to the exclusion of all other chemical compounds. Thus a client with other compounds in his blood or breath may have a high 'blood-alcohol' reading with little or no ethanol in his body. If you look at the warranties - it is sort of interesting - none of the breath machine manufacturers warrant these things to actually test blood alcohol."

"Nancy Benoit also had a blood alcohol reading of .184, although Sperry said the blood alcohol and drug levels could be affected by the decomposition of her body. 'These (blood alcohol) results are not reliable for interpretation because the amount of alcohol in her system could have all come from the decomposition.'"

"The only reliable test for blood alcohol from a corpse is by drawing the blood directly from the interior chambers of the heart. Otherwise the blood can be contaminated with stomach and intestinal contents from ingested alcohol. This is especially true for crash victims."

"Let me start with law enforcement contacts with respect to traffic stops, for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The Fifth amendment of the Bill of Rights states that we are not to be forced to incrimnate ourselves. The actual wording is, you cannot be compelled to be a witness against yourself. If you are stopped for suspicion of DUI, these are your rights regardless of the laws of your state. First of all, you are to deny having consumed any alcoholic beverages whatsoever. You are never to admit to having one or two drinks. If you admit to consuming even one drop of alcohol, you open the door to 'probable caNOTIFY: N | REPLY | REPLY WITH QUOTE | PERMALINK | TOP | HOME
