Yep.  Thank god he didn’t hurt anyone else.

 

a friend of my brothers who was like a brother to me got drunk and killed himself driving on a rural route in ohio. he knew what he was doing and he often talked about driving drunk on this road because it is so deadly and wanting to die. he took out a mother and teenage daughter in his final act of cowardice. it will forever piss me off.

 

the other friend, nick, took his life a few years before at 20 years old.

Drink and drive you're an #######. It's a selfish act. It's reprehensible.

 

I feel for his family and friends that lost someone.

I agree. Lost several people at the hands of a drunk driver over the years. Awful for every party involved as they are always a father, mother, sister, brother, family member or friend and now are no longer able to breathe life. Tragic. Blessings to everyone ever affected.

here is a story on Nick's brother, who played at Penn State

on a semi related note, i just saw a news snipped about how they're going to require alcohol monitoring in future car builds.  i'm not sure if i have the completely correct, but it's the first time i've heard it.  

 

edit:  it seems there's a push to make it a requirement.

I feel sorry for his family and friends who now get to deal with this loss. And so close to the holidays. I mean there is no "good time", of course. But always seems tougher around this time of year. 

 

Thankful he didn't take anyone else with him. 

[Captain Hindsight]

Very sad news. Too young to die, but too old to not know better. Really glad he didn't take anyone with him

   I’m at the point in life where I don’t pity others for stupid decisions they make. I don’t care if he was Bills fan. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I was wondering that about the car too. Also he was not wearing his seatbelt. That’s a good way to get dead.

His story when I was in 5th grade  scared me into wearing a seatbelt from then on

I’m gonna bet my retirement that someone is already developing the workaround. 
 

Also, no seatbelt and running into a bridge while drunk makes me wonder about suicide.  I’ve heard many people talk about doing exactly that when depressed, mentally ill, etc.

A second cousin of mine was on a country road near Penn State when he was home from college. He was alone driving his pickup at night. He hit a mailbox that was set in a 55 gallon drum filled with concrete. That impact did not kill him, but he was not wearing his seatbelt. So he was halfway out of the driver’s side window as the truck rolled over him and crushed his chest. It was his only significant injury, but was enough to kill him. Never any word if alcohol was involved or not.

Sorry for your losses, that’s got to be incredibly frustrating.

Im actually surprised that no one has gotten trucked on the shoulder of the roads outside the stadium walking back to their car after the game. Between the amount of drunk people walking on the shoulder, and the amount of drunk people driving on the same roads always makes me learn near the barricades as far away as I can get. Lets not act like multiple Bills fans aren't getting behind the wheel after games heavily intoxicated.

Honestly. Who cares?

The angle I found interesting was that it was the Bills loss that probably caused him to get drunk. Third time in a row in the regular season KC has lost to Buffalo at home.

If Toney wasnt offside he would have been just as wasted.

The workaround is a car that drives itself imo.  

 

The challenge is that the current Interlock breathalyzer's are insanely unreliable.  They don't work well in the cold.  They generate false positives from things like Albuterol inhalers.  Car companies would be sourcing this out to companies, and people are NOT going to like when they can't go to work because their car isn't allowed to start due to malfunction.  You could say - this happens all the time when things break or a car wont start.  But this is like saying the car won't start because the cigarette lighter won't light.

The most annoying Chiefs "super fan" is that dude in the Chiefs blazer with the backward visor.
