Should bars have parking lots??
Not a bad idea though i still think the best answer is to make DUI a felony
with automatic multi-year license suspension. Let's stop coddling these killers and maimers. |

Cop parked near a bar, near closing time. Folks come out and make their way to their cars and leave, but one guy seems to have a lot of trouble. He staggers out of the bar, eventually gets to his car (after bumping into walls, street-light poles, falling off the curb several times, etc). Eventually the guy finds his keys which he had dropped while falling off the curb, gets in his car and sits there for a while. Eventually he is the last one left and he gets his car and heads out--only to be stopped as soon as he hits the street. And it starts, but when he blows a zero the cop wants to know what is going on--was he supposed to be the designated driver or something? Guy says "No sir, I'm the designated decoy". -- Requiescas in pace o email Two identifying characteristics of System Administrators: Ex turpi causa non oritur actio Infallibility, and the ability to learn from their mistakes.

Should bars have parking lots??
Good question. What makes me really wonder:
Near where I live, there's a popular bar. Just across the street, there's a city parking lot. Its about 100 feet down the road from a signaled intersection, with pedestrian crossing lights and everything. But the bar patrons (particularly the drunk ones) insist on stumbling out, seeing their car directly across the street and making a bee-line for it. So, what does the city do? Add another crosswalk right at the bar's front door. Why not park a police cruiser there at closing time and stop everyone jaywalking. This would be excellent probable cause to catch a whiff of booze on their breath and drag them off if they subsequently slide into the driver's seat. -- Paul Hovnanian ------------------------------------------------------------------ What color is a chameleon looking in a mirror? |

It's a good idea except it would be called harassment, it's been tried. oddly enough the bar owner could hire the cops for traffic control. |

Or drag them off before they get into the driver's seat (on a public intoxication charge - even if they are just kept locked up long enough to sober up). That way they don't get into the car and drive drunk to begin with. Of course, that would not satisfy the revenue needs of the city and the insurance industry like a DUI charge would and would not satisfy the prison fetishes of a puritianical knot-head (and admitted highway killer) like S&DDAM... -- "Oh yeah.

Years ago in Someerville Mass (close suburb of Boston) if they caught a drunk driver they would write him/her up for public intoxication, he/ she would plead guilty and be on the way, much poorer.. If the driver started mouthing off, they would write him/her up for DWI. Drunks in the know were quite co-operative. |

Here the first offense to get your driving costs you 3grand per year and six months of daylight only driving. The second time you pay 5grand a year for your license and blow on the tube you pay another 5grand to install. The third time after five years you pay 10 grand per year to blow plus the five grand for the device. The fourth time your bubba Leroy's Love monkey and can be had for life. The insurance companies Rape you from day one, a two year old will get cheaper rates. The blow meters make you pull over every ten minute for a blow job, oh and don't think about getting someone else to blow it's genetics for you. |
