It would have been fine. The tow truck also has a DUI lockout.
Sorry who can translate this to a European?
surprised they didn't still get a DUI for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated
y'know, what with cops giving them out to people sleeping it off in the back of their car and whatnot. somebody had to get in the car to put it in neutral
A car does not randomly have a DUI device...
Especially in Wisconsin. Our drunk driving laws are some of the most lax in the nation. There's a saying that the first DUI is free, and it's only kinda a joke.
When you look at consumption rates it makes sense. Wisconsin is a powerhouse of drinking.
I’ll tell the IRS to screw off. I’ll hit a lawyers car for fun. I will not fuck with the tavern league of Wisconsin.
Takes a whole lot of DUIs in Wisconsin. Probably years and years of consistently driving home drunk
Driving drunk is just an expected part of American life in most of the country. If it weren't, we'd have ways to get around other than by car
Or maybe she's one of those dimwits who likes to annoy judges by asking them if they are following maritime or common law, and assert that the court doesn't have jurisdiction over them, and that they're not travelling, and that nobody was personally harmed...
It's impressive just how careful judges tend to be with these nutcases, which I suppose is because it's so far outside the rules of court, that they tend to play too safe and end up vindicating the whole clown show...
Seriously, this isn't that sweet of a scene
It never pretended to be a sweet scene. It's basically just saying that wisconsinites are alcoholics.
That's because they didn't include the part where she lands flat on her ass laughing when she realizes "this isn't even MY CAR you guys!"
No, you go through a whole process to get one. Its as a result of a dui.
The DUI device will let you shift into neutral? I thought usually you had to turn the key to get it into neutral.
It would be a safety hazard if it prevented you from shifting into neutral, for situations like this. Tow truck would have needed to put it in neutral as well
Tow trucks dont have to. If they cant tow it on a free axle, they'll just use dollys.
Depends on the car and device, but I think they usually disable the ignition, not the key turning.
Don't most cars also have the little hidden keyhole next to the shifter, specifically for this purpose?
No not specifically for a bunch of alcoholics to move a car under human power.
But yes most cars do have that.
I mean it is pretty damn unlikely these days but it could be a stick
If you have to have a breathalyzer device installed, you shouldn’t be allowed to drive
The responsible thing to do would have been to make sure her car got towed.
why?
it was parked in the wrong spot and they corrected the situation
She was a serial drunk driver and parked in the wrong spot before going and getting drunk without and way of getting home. She probably got drunk before going out and had somebody else blow in the breathalyzer for her, maybe her kids, we don't know for sure.
Clearly she isn't responsible to handle this weapon, she is going to kill somebody.
