Saw this in the news. Happened in the Hamptons. P driver got charged with DWI.

 

Another pic from the front. That should buff out.

 

That will cost him!

Ouch...... Hope everyone was okay.

 

Oops, riding the gas too hard it seems. At least the engine's ok.

 

Another slight mishap....

 

I think was in Daytona. Tire blew just before coming into the straight. Happened about a year ago.

 

I hope everyone is ok.

And while I don't want to sound like a heartless jerk, I'm glad this driver is being charged if he/she was, in fact, impaired. Drinkiing and/or drugs and driving have no place together. Ever.

 

Hmmm, I wonder what Lindsay Lohan was doing in the Hamptons; Partying it seems..

 

You beat me to it! Good one

 

Just a flesh wound

 

i cringe when i see these photos. DUI and driving a convertible doesnt mix well.

 

Agreed, but I'm glad I didn't get caught as I'm sure there were some times I was over the limit.

I used to represent DUI clients and I gave up when many started earning "frequent flyer" points. It seemed to me that by securing acquittals I provided them with a false sense of security - almost a license to drink and drive.

A few of my DUI clients have lost their licenses and the karma effect sort of kicked in. As I recall ( from about 25 years ago) one lost his leg in an accident DUI related where a young girl was injured. He lost the license and was hobbling home drunk on crutches on a dark and stormy night, yup...he was struck and killed by a DUI.

Recently, another client who has what is an essentially lifetime license suspension after a particularly gruesome incident, was hit by a car that left the scene - he had to have a hip replaced.

Most were not first time offenders and had driven under the influence tens if not hundreds of times before having an accident or being stopped.

I absolutely never have anything to drink if I am going to be driving within 4 hours - essentially, this means that I never have alcohol - not even a beer - unless I am staying home or on vacation. There is too much at stake. It's not if but when you are going to kill or injure someone and even if alcohol is not a factor, if it's in your blood, you're screwed.

Driving a Porsche is fun and it's best to have all your wits about you to enjoy ever second.

 

Amen.
