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!

      He was. He had grey comb-over hair, glasses, polo shi(r)t and khaki shorts, white calf length socks and white reeboks. Thinking about it makes me so angry I WANT TO TYPE WITH THE CAPS ON. It was the McDonalds at Champions Gate, Florida on 30th March. I AM STILL SO ANGRY. IT'S OUTRAGEOUS OLD PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THIS SHIT. I AM STAMPING MY FEET AS I TYPE AND AM DEVELOPING HIVES ON MY HANDS. OUTRAGEOUS.

      Would any of you give 2 fucks if this was some random person you never have heard of. I didn't think so. And this crash way over played, not a big crash at all. At all.

      Please Perez….. put up MADD.org as a worthwhile cause. I lost the love of my life to a drunk driver and MADD has supported and helped me through my loss. By you posting this organization your readers can get info on the importance of eliminating all drunk drivers. Life is too precious to take the chance of driving while drunk. Drunk Driving KILLS. It is completely preventable tragedy if people would just act responsibly. Thanks

      She's not a senior asshole - she's only 64. Besides, is your point that drinking and driving is OK if you don't take other meds? What an ignorant statement. Tell that to the families of people killed by drunk drivers fagboy….

      Re: OUTRAGED, WITH CAPS, ORLANDO

      I am so sorry to hear about the horrific incident you had to endure. It reminds me of something Mother used to say (before we put her down due to her advancing age — she was nearly 60 at the time). She taught me that when someone strikes you, you strike back twice as hard! You ought to have dove to the condiment counter and grabbed the sharpest spork out of that little basket and plunged it into that line skipping bastard's shriveled, goiter-ridden neck.

      Sometimes typing in all caps just isn't enough. As good as it does feel, I KNOW. Some crimes call for a SPORK to the throat. Remember that your anger is a gift from God, and He has given it to you for a purpose. It may be too late to punish your nemesis, but there are many more just like him that deserve — nay– demand — your aggressions. GOD BE WITH YOU IN YOUR WORK, MY FRIEND.

      To NeverDrinkandDrive: I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my parents last year to a drunk driver. They were killed instantly. It was his 5th DUI. And he's still free pending his trial and it's been over a year. To all those who joke about drunk driving being fun, I truly hope you never have to suffer a loss like this because it will not be so funny then. It is very hurtful to those who have experienced this to hear your comments. And I'm glad this accident was minor, but it certainly could easily have been a different outcome.

      Drawing that wine bottle poking out of Sandra's basket under a headline "Why Do People Drink and Drive???" makes it look like she was to blame, that she was the one drinking

      Or is that what you wanted us to think? You should change the post - it's unfair

      Stupid old drunken drivers

      134

      I think as soon as you hit 65 or whenever those oldies get their discounts and shit, that they should have to do road tests every 6 months. I passed 3 different car accidents this week alone that were caused by old people (2 who hit bikers, yeah yeah, i knwo bikers aren't any better, and 1 who mangled this other dudes car up). I don't plan on driving very much, or at all when I'm old. I'll just live in a place with a lot of cabs….I can already hear dissenters angrily typing about my comment. NEWS FLASH: Unlike you, I don't come back here to see who replies to my comments. HA HA. Losers.

      This old lady will go to jail unlike Lindsey and Nicole and Halle and Rebecca Gayhart. When a celebrity drinks and drives or does hit and run they get away with it. When nornal people do it, they go to jail.

      The best part is that Gloucester is a dry town; they don't sell liquor, beer, or wine. You have to get it elsewhere.

      First of all, I would like to specify that according to people.com, they were hit on the front side of the car…..it was NOT a head on collision. If it really was a head on collision, they would not have gotten out of the car and walked away from the accident!

      i live in manchester, right next to gloucester, and it disgusts me. a friday night DUI is typical for gtown and the fact that sandra and jesse were victims just goes to show that no one is safe.

      they're filming their new movie in my town currently!

      Re: Sam – wowwww gloucester is not a dry town by ANY means (in fact it's also a city), rockport (it's neighbor) was one until just a few years ago. so clearly you don't know what you're talking about at all!
