Why Do People Drink and Drive????

Filed under: Sandra Bullock

301107samhf_sandrabullock_03__opt.jpg

Sandra Bullock and her husband, Jesse James, were involved in a head-on collision in Gloucester, Mass, on Friday night.

The pair were hit by a drunk driver!

Thankfully, Sandy and her hubby were not seriously injured.

Bullock is in the area shooting the romantic-comedy The Proposal with Ryan Reynolds.

The alleged drunk driver was Lucile Gathcell, 64 years old.

Seniors should defintely not be drinking and driving. It might react badly with all their meds!

    Whe are WE as a Society going to "Appropriately" Punish properly Drunk Drivers, Child Abusers, pedophiles ETC.??

    Why are people getting more than 1 DUI - as if ONE Isn't More Than Enough?

    Why are Pedophiles Not put in Prison for LIFE & I mean their Life until we find a Cure - Not One Child Should be at Risk!

    FOUR ( 4 ) Children DIE per Day in the United States due to Child Abuse!!
    When I first heard that I thought I heard wrong - It is TRUE - I Can't believe It!! It was THREE ( 3 ) until This year!

    When are Punishments going to be Harsh Enough to DETER??
    When are the GUILTY going to Punished Appropriately??

    We are Outraged about Lesser Things!

    Same thing happened to me this past Wed. I was hit-on by a 69 year old man and he didn't stop. He drove home then claimed he had a diabetic blackout. His blood alcohol level was .08. His DUI and Hit and run charges should help him remember.

    People drink and drive as it adds a bit of something to their journey. A nice buzz, funky track in the background, bit of speed. Makes the journey a little more special than sober. Car pool with me, anyone?

    Re: courtney

    The oldest person I've been hit on by was at least 40. I said, "No Way, Old Man. You are NOT buying me a drink. Fuck off." Then I kneed him in the crown jewels. I think he got the message.

    Re: Gary

    I totally get the bit about being outraged. Some old man cut in front of me when I was in the line for a big breakfast at McDonalds. I was so angry I announced: ACTUALLY I WAS NEXT IN THE LINE to everyone who had hearing. I was so angry I was outraged about it all day long. I ruined my day.

    NOBODY SHOULD DRINK AND DRIVE!!!!!!!! Stop the crap perez with seniors and meds. He was 64 years old, he should be able to drive if he wasn't drinking. Not every senior is on meds you fool. DUI accidents happen at all ages, andthe most I hear about have teenagers and people in their 20's involved. I was permanenty disabled by a 30 y.o. cop that was drunk. Just shows EVERYONE that you should not get behind the wheel if you have been drinking.

    This is proof that old people should not be allowed to drive. Anyone over 40 should have their license taken away!!!

    NO ONE should drink and drive, PEREZ. Lay off seniors!!!! I am 60, am not on ANY medication and I NEVER drink and drive. Look at the statistics. More young people kill people because of drinking and driving, not seniors. PEREZ, you just pray you live to be a senior. Another young person could drink and drive and kill you.

  58. 64 is okay, drinking isn't says – reply to this
    58

    64 isn't exactly the age where people should stop driving. Half the people on the road are on some kind of med, blood pressure, antidepressants … and they ain't even near 64. Give the senior thing a break Perez.

    Drunks? Take their cars, sell them at auction and donate the money to MADD or a similar program. Second offense? Lock them up. PERIOD.

    Seniors shouldn't be drinking because it might react badly with their medication?

    My dad is 65 and he isn't taking any medications. Way to be a douche, Perez. I hope that you adopt kids in the future or something, because then someday you'll get to feel what it's like to be disrespected because of your age.

    Re: courtney – He may have very well had a diabetic blackout. Diabetics shouldn't drink. It causes the blood sugar to plummet which can cause a blackout. Of course he shouldn't have been driving with a .08 bal. It probably would have hit someone anyway. I'm glad that you weren't hurt……..I stopped drinking when I found out that I was diabetic. I miss that occasional glass of wine.

    Everyone knows that people in Massachusetts are known for drunk driving. They actually invented it and they think it's cool. The people in Rhode Island like to shoot heroin and angel dust and then run their electric meat slicers to cut up various types of preserved meat products and the Massholes are just trying to one-up them. That's what inbreds do. Obama 08.
