You said, "some beer,"which probably menas, "a lot of beer." Your body hadn't cleared it all. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1531456 Thats what I was wondering. Just to be sure I sat there on the side of the road for 24 hours too scared to drive even tho I felt fine. Call me paranoid but I do not drink and drive.

But things like medication, metabolism, habituation to drinking and eating can affect this rate. People also forget how much they actually drank when they start drinking too much. Maybe you had a drink or two when you got back to the house. |

When "deregulation of the trucking industry" came in truckers became the most regulated employees in the US. You can work 24/7 if you want a trucker is only allowed to work 70 hours a week. The rules are fucked up. we work more then 70 hours we just do not log it. Truck drivers make less then minimum wage but nobody that has any pull will investigate it because TPTB are heavily vested in the transportation industry. |

Best bet is to shut up about it. Anything you say can and will be used against you. Remember this is the "New" America, where you are guilty until proven innocent. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 12219053 United States 03/13/2012 06:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | it's a stupid law a to z. if someone's in a wreck and drinking then charge them as no accident otherwise forget it. the law does more harm than good - and is meant to. the law is meant to support illegal immigration and more police. |

Guilty till proven innocent. At the moment I am just trying to keep it off my license. The ticket is only $127. But I would rather pay the $475 plus fines if it stays off my DMV report. |
