San Marcos has nothing on PB. I went on a few ride-alongs in PB. Some people are weaving all over the road. I almost looks fake. And there are so many ping-pong accidents from DUIs hitting parked cars, then swerving away, then overcorrecting and hitting some more parked cars. I heard once something crazy like 10-14 parked cars were hit at one time. Not to mention the one DUI that drove his car into the front of a house.
It’s a problem. Way too many DUIs in PB. I think there would be more, but every time a cop arrests a DUI, that takes him out of the field for a solid 2 hours. There’s not enough cops in PB to arrest all the drunk drivers. A lot of them driving w/out a license is b/c they had previous DUIs and had their license taken away.
So why drink and drive. Why not just drink at home. Or if you’re out drinking, get a cab. Whatever it costs to get a cab has to be less than the bar tab or the 10k+ it would cost if you get a DUI, not to mention the time you spend in jail if you kill someone.
So many ride-alongs where the DUI was arrested and he’s screaming, “You’re ruining my life.” As if the cop forced alcohol down his throat and held a gun to his head and made him drive. If anything, he’s saving his life and that of others. I could never be a cop. I don’t know how they have the patience to deal w/some of those drunks.
I am surprised they had 14 arrests on a Sunday night in San Marcos and it wasn’t a holiday or anything.
