Maybe “Impairment” means a med he was on

FYI to all the car-brain fuckers out there. Just because your meds are legal prescriptions doesn't mean you're good to drive while you're on them! You're still doing a DUI.

    To be clear I completely agree with that, that's like the smallest benefit of the doubt that maybe he didn't understand, but it's a goddamn slim one.

    When they say "Do not operate heavy machinery" they mean DO NOT FUCKING DRIVE. A 2,000+ vehicle is heavy machinery

    He was drunk driving:

    Authorities conducted a field sobriety test and reported smelling alcohol on Morris-Jones, a 76-year-old Apex resident. His blood alcohol content was not disclosed in court. Statements from law enforcement said he had "very slurred speech," was "swaying while standing," and refused a preliminary breath test after the crash.
