.Guy. Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 You see an obviously impaired person behind the wheel? Today as I was driving home and the car in front of me was swerving all over the place. It was obvious the guy was drunk. He could not keep his car in between the lines and would randomly slow down and speed up. He was huge hazard to other people on the road. It really pissed me off this guy would endanger the lives of everyone else on the road. I did not have a cell phone so I took down his license plate number and when I got home I reported him to the police. I don't care if I am labeled a NARC, this guy was going to hurt or even kill someone. I felt it was my responsibilty to report him. I have had a friend killed by a drunk driver so as long I know atleast did something, I know I did the right thing. What do you do in such a situation?

chipwhich Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Carry a cell phone, calling after the fact is no help. Get a cell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjcdaman Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Dude, I only had two beers in me. My balls were itching and I was scratching them. Next time you wanna call the cops, make sure you know the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjah Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I'd dial. I actually did call once, when it seemed evident that a dude was going to kill someone before he got off the highway. It takes serious potential for harm before I'll make the call. But the label "narc" is far easier to live with than the (potential) knowledge that somebody died because you did nothing.

Drockvb Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 You can definitely tell when someone is a danger on the road. Pull over and call if you don't have a cell phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21KO Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Do it all the time - did it a few months ago and long story short, when the sheriff finally got there the guy was passed out in the driver's seat at a closed gas station with open containers in the car and the sheriff did nothing. The old "we didn't see him driving" deal. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
