Posted: 09/25/06 - 15:02 Post subject: This is why you shouldn't drink and drive
Mostly its because you turn into a bigger idiot than you already are.
Angry drink driver runs himself over
A US drink driver, who drove at a gang of bikers while waving a pool cue, ran himself over after getting out of his car.
The 50-year-old was driving along Highway 4 near Concord, California, when he saw the bikers, many of whom were wearing leather and skull caps.
California Highway Patrol Officer Scott Yox told the San Francisco Chronicle the man waved a pool cue at the bikers and swerved his car towards them.
The bikers split into two groups to get away and the irate driver aimed his car at two bikers who had pulled off the highway.
He got out of his car with the pool cue - but before he could do anything, he was knocked down by his own car which had been left in reverse.
The man was knocked into the highway and his car reversed into the central reservation. Some of the bikers grabbed him and pulled him out of danger.
Authorities said they had no idea why Brooks reacted the way he did to the bikers, who kept calm and didn't retaliate.
"We don't believe they went to fisticuffs with him," said Officer Yox.
The man suffered cuts and scratches and was taken to hospital. He could face charges of assault with a deadly weapon and drink driving.

90% of bikers are very nice folks. The problem 10% are usualy out of sight.
We usualy stop to help stranded motorists, change tires, give directions etc...
Next time you see us riding around...

10% isn't a good ratio. I'd bet that only 10% of cocaine users are "problem" users.

So you are equating cocaine users to motorcycle riders?

I'm equating your statistic with a hypothetical statistic of my own. Put down the pool cue and go back to your table, aight?
