And to the pics at the start of this thread, man, tough to imagine anyone surviving in that Civic ....I bet she is a lot more "critical" than the drunk in the RL. Not only is the car twice the size, but the drunks seem to ALWAYS survive...
I'll jus pay any Joe Shmoe to scan his retinas for an additional $5 to the breathalyzer and start me up..but hey, your just kidding so nvm.

that's because the sober driver is like "WTF! I'm gonna die!!!!" and is all tenseed up just before the collission while the drunk driver is like "OOOOOOHHHHH Pretty lights!!!!" and totally relaxed....

people typically sustain MORE SERIOUS INJURIES when they tense up just before impact versus people who are in a relaxed state and flop around

They actually studied this on Mythbusters. I can't remember their finding but I think they did find some correlation to serious injury being less if drunk.

^ I heard the same... something about drunk drivers' bodies aren't as tense as a non-drunk driver's so if they crash they don't sustain as bad of injuries... for the most part.

Has anybody taken a drunking driving class where you can get drunk and then learn how to drive that way?
