Coward, Do that to his wife, Despicable.

A real man would have kicked his wife out and told her to walk home for letting him fall asleep. Got out and locked in the hubs, put the transfer case in 4 low, and backed out of the ditch. Drove through the fence on the opposite side of the road and went home cross country with the lights off to not get anybody a ticket.

It could be a economic decision for the good of the family as dysfunctional as it sounds to some in the long run. Like getting a 2nd DUI and he loses his job or insurance so if he drives for a living she could not help with that. If she was less drunk it could get reduced to a lesser charge also their choices their problems to solve.

He probably didnt have off road tires. The fence wouldve given him flats

OK, people who live in glass houses should not throw stones?

How about let's back away from one liners that are designed to shut people up.
That is if you believe in individuals being able to express their views.
It seems you don't by your commenting.

A lot of that going around these days.

Years and years back I made an aggressive turn to soon in my jeep and ended up in the ditch. I was able to back it out on the road surprisingly . Especially since the axcel was not connected on one side and also bent. Those 34" swamppers couldn't help much with that. I pulled it over to the side of the road and took off on foot. No since sticking around in the jeep Especially since a state cop lived just down the road and yes I was drunk. I had it towed the next morning with no legal issues.

The point is had he had any since even drunk he would have just got away from the vehicle and off the road not worrying about it tell later. Either they are just plain dumb or were so drunk they couldn't think about it. That would be pretty drunk becuse I was completely tossed when I did it. Made a lot of very bad decisions during that 7 or a month period after hitting my breaking point. After 4 years of my wife's depression and my own lack of ability to understand my problems trying to be a rock supporting her and not being able to show and emotions because if I did she feed off them and got worse after our son was killed. To tell the truth I was heading back over to a girls house I had no business being at.. Luckily I got my head out of my hind end and have an amazingly understanding and forgiving wife I don't deserve. But it all worked I up well. That broke her out of her depression loop and made me aware how lucky I am and I no longer take that for granted.

I always heard God works in mysterious ways. I would never dreamed he could use my infidelity to cure my wife's depression after the lose of our son and be able to use it to make me a better man. Our marriage became stronger than ever after that point.

Heres a one liner. How bout we dont all jump to judgement on a situation we only know one paragraph about?

..... or less.

Well now, there's a novel approach !

The wife should just tell the truth now. She might catch a lesser charge for lying but too late to charge the ol man with DUI.

His second dui would have surely costed his family more trouble
Then her getting her first. No jail time for him and less lost money
Could possibly been the best thing in there situation. Maybe now they
Both will wise up and not drive after drinking bc that option is now used up.
Who knows. I’m not here to judge there situation they came up with together!!

That's what I was thinking too Ne WL.
I'm not up on the pricing of this industry but,
family financial decision?

Seems weird he brought it up at work,
and weird we are talking about it.

He didn't fall asleep, he was reading a roast er post on tman.

To me it's like NO-Cash Bail- unfortunately if he has a problem, the likelihood of him repeating is extremely high and he will be driving with someone's friends and family on the road. If he would've manned up- my guess, is they would've had to install an ignition breathalyzer, which in turn would prevent him and/or anyone from starting the vehicle. This isn't about him saving money- it's about saving lives.

LOW LIFE

If caught the average is for every time caught, the person is driving drunk 80 times. From experience dealing with this that is pretty accurate. For those defending this every time he drove and drives drunk my wife, children and grandchildren are the greater risk. The DUI laws are way to easy for the risks. He needs to pay for putting everyone else on the roads, sidewalks, and buildings he will plow into at risk.

Come on man, this is THE mark june! He went to school to learn about a book that was written by man. His interpretation of it is the correct one. It is ok to pass judgement when you are the one that gets to define what judgement is.

I should also note that he has not commented on his feelings about the original post. However, his feelings are rather clear.

I will not be posting about the original post as it is, at best, a third party regurgitation of what happened. Very lacking in facts.

Those that drink (or smoke dope) and then drive certainly are! Much less let the the wife take the heat.

Firing squad! My younger brother was killed by a drunk driver last year. The guy took off and a person witnessing the accident chased the guy and blocked him in and called the police. No bs excuses.

That's fair.

JJ, You're a bit sarcastic again I see. Seems a bit out of place in this thread discussion, but tiss your typical MO, so it's not surprising.
That one verse recorded by the disciple Matthew was not presented on this forum with proper context. At all.
Unless a person is God.

He brought it up at work talking about how lucky he was to not get arrested again. Didn't realize it was going to cause this much controversy when I posted it. Won't happen again.
