DWI and Depression, interlinked?

[fumanchu182]

Okay so I am on the final leg of my suspension for my DWI and am crazy depressed because I love my car and I can't drive it. I love the fact that it can eat a vipers ass and yet still leave a funny look on that turboed b series honda car driver, like whoah I don't believe!

Nuff digression, I was seriously depressed as I paid my insurance surcharge to the DMV and well then these three tracks came up on the path train about a good 15-20 minutes later.

Audiofly X - Are We There Yet [Get Physical Music]
Michael Johnson - Stockholm
The Timewriter - Room Of A Million Rainbows (Extended Version) [Plastic City]
Pascal Feos - Can't Get Enough [Level Non Zero]

I all of a sudden got fucking happy like gigly happy, my brain did like a belly flop onto hard cement and ceased to function. It was great, well here is to the all natural anti-depressant Progressive Dance Music!

OK, not to be mean or harsh, etc., but how do you go drinking and then get into a car and drive home or wherever? Do you not think that through?

You could have killed yourselves or worse, someone else. A DUI is getting off lucky, and being depressed about not being able to drive, I'm sorry but suck it up. I don't feel sorry for anyone who gets behind a wheel of a car after drinking and gets busted...not one ounce of pity. I am glad they caught you and took you off the road. I don't think a year suspension or whatever it is in your state is enough tbh.

Same here, I know dozens of people with a DWI/DUI, it's one of my biggest fears....

I understand it's inconvenient and even depressing not to be able to drive. You'll be able to soon enough... I hope that you've taken responsibility for your actions in your heart and know not to get behind the wheel again if you even think you're on the edge - it's just not worth risking your life or someone else's.

It should be banned too;
it doesnt make drink driving right!

Whats the difference between a DWI & DUI?

Exactly...talking on a phone while driving is also bad, but because people talk on a cell phone, doesn't excuse drinking and driving.

Driving under the influence / Driving while intoxicated, the differene being the BAC, which will vary by state, but obviously DWI is worse and carries a much heavier penalty.

for life imo (your perspective kinda changes when your best friend is killed by a drunk driver)
