You ever play don't-hit-the-cone? You can make it REALLY difficult for a sober person, and impossible for anyone can't handle their Mudder's Milk.

That's not what driving is though. Driving is mostly mundane and you need to still keep your focus on all the little things that could be going on. I assume that's why they driving tests I've done have been on the actual road where conditions are real. If this idea were implemented you can bet that lots of people would be up in arms and want intense scrutiny. Don't knock over the cone is not going to cut it.

Summer Glau talks about drinking and driving fast during an interview with Esquire Magazine. www.esquire.com/women/women-we-love/summer-glau-0311
In ten minutes she will be drinking whiskey at the bar. In an hour she will be heading home in her Trans Am. Does this remind anyone of Alan Tudyk?
“I like wine, but I'm really a whiskey drinker. I'm a Maker's Mark girl. It's funny, I grew up in a conservative family and my parents didn't drink at all, but my sisters and I can drink like fishes. We don't get drunk — I don't get out of control — but I'll have a nightly bourbon to unwind.”
“I have a 1979 model that I'm still restoring. My friends say I drive too fast. But I'm just trying to drive my muscle car in a muscle car way.”
The t-shirt says, below the word shirt: “Got caught doin' 155 mph”

10-4 good buddy!
Except how do you get CAUGHT doin 155?
I do know a doctor caught doin 173. Too old to run. Got banned so he sold his 30 bikes and bought an airplane with no stinkin speed limit.
As for drinkin n drivin, back in the Day we'd just hand the cop a cold beer during a traffic stop. Good to go.

Chris, please drop it. You've gone very far into "protesting too much" sort of territory.
Alan did something foolish. No one got hurt. Someone could have, someone other than Alan, but no one did, so that's good. If he's found guilty, he'll probably have to pay a fine or something. No one is going to nail him to a fucking tree over this, so please stop acting like that's what's going on here.
For the record, no, it isn't safe to drive on heavy painkillers or other narcotics, either. I have no idea if there are laws actually in place about it, but it definitely isn't safe. When I had dental surgery and they gave me some sort of generic percocet, I could barely walk down the stairs; I certainly couldn't have driven on that stuff. I probably couldn't even have gotten the key in the ignition. It's not safe to drive when you're very tired, either. Thing about both of those is that there isn't exactly a reliable test for tired, and there's no breathalyzer for pain killers. Also, prescriptions tend to get a pass where they maybe shouldn't, though not always.
Maybe there shouldn't be laws about any of it, and people should just not be stupid, but that could be asking a whole lot.
If someone wants to get hammered, whatever. If someone wants to get strung out on painkillers, whatever on that as well. If someone gets into a vehicle weighing a few tons and moving at high speed, they are endangering everyone in their vicinity. If there's no one in their vicinity, it's still whatever, but that doesn't really tend to happen. That would require being the only one in the vehicle and driving through the desert at about three in the morning. Even then, there's no guarantee, the odds are just the best there that no one else will get hurt. I doubt you're ever the only one on the road in a place like L.A. That does not a victimless crime make.
Facts are stubborn things.

We are all Human and make mistakes, and some rules are made to be broken but I agree with WishIMay. Alan didn't just break a rule, he put himself and others at risk. And he's an intelligent man so he should know better. Being disappointed in that particular bad choice does not mean I admire his acting talents any less or that i'm striking him of my fave actor's list but I do hope he's more careful in future. I'm a bit of a rule breaker myself but I only break the ones that are due to some control freak inflicting their authority on others, or rules that increase inefficiency etc or the ones that are just plain stupid. I don't drive because I am not allowed to due to the level of my Tourette's. despite the inconveneince this causes me and others I accept it as me on the road would have the same effect as putting someone who was drunk behind the wheel.
Oh and if we are going to elude to Firefly and rule/code breaking Jayne broke the rule/code re being loyal to the rest of the crew, therefore putting not only Simon and River at risk, but everyone on Serenity. he was severely punished as a result...but you'd expect that kind of behaviour from Jayne as he's a certified dumbass

Alan Tudyk mugshot and strip search
Quote:
” Actor Alan Tudyk, whose film credits include “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” and the British comedy “Death at a Funeral,” was arrested early Sunday in Soquel on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Tudyk was pulled over about 1 a.m. on Soquel Drive near Robertson Road, just north of downtown Soquel, after officers observed him speeding in a silver Land Cruiser owned by a friend, the CHP reported. He was going 40 in a 25 mph zone, officer Sarah Jackson said.
Tudyk, who lives in Los Angeles and was visiting the area, told the arresting officer he had a few beers at 99 Bottles in Santa Cruz, officer Trevor Smith said.
Tudyk declined to take a breath test, but he failed a field sobriety test, Smith said. Results of his blood-alcohol test are pending.
Tudyk was arrested without incident, Jackson said.
A female passenger who was sober drove the Land Cruiser after the arrest, Smith said.

Lessons learned: NEVER tell a cop you dined at a restaurant that serves alcohol. NEVER tell a cop "how many beers you drank". NEVER volunteer for a field sobriety test (sucker test), which is not mandatory, not scientific and has no passing score. Not volunteering for the alcohol breath test was a smart move, since no machine can measure alcohol
I will only be disapponted in Alan if he don't get lawyered up and win this case at trial. But Alan did fuck up...by talking to a cop instead of exercising his constitutional right to STFU.
He can even do a reality TV show about winning in DUI court, like that little guy Matt Roloff.

There is an epidemic plaguing our country. It is a tragedy that affects every scifi fan in our nation, even our globe. It is the reoccurring death of Alan Tudyk. Time after time the innocent Alan Tudyk is taken from us before his time.
Today we change our name to "Please Stop Arresting Alan Tudyk." Well, if people kept killing me, I'd drink too.

Actress Jaime Pressly has spoken out for the first time about her recent double drama, insisting her DUI arrest and impending divorce are not connected. Pressly reportedly owes $637,149 in unpaid taxes. Pressly, who was reportedly almost three times over the legal blood alcohol limit, was released on $15,000 bail and subsequently charged with two counts of DUI. She entered her plea during a court hearing at a Los Angeles County courtroom on February 4 and is next due in court on March 18. If convicted, the actress faces up to six months in jail.
