Zombie Revolution, are you ready?

I don't think anyone should drink or do drugs and drive (I don't drink or do drugs at all, but I don't care how others "recreate"). That being said, I've seen people fairly over the limit drive better than most of the brain dead public on the road today. If you drive poorly, cause an accident, and kill someone, the penalty should be the same whether you were drunk or simply forgot that you are piloting 2 tons of metal at highway speed. The end result for the families of the deceased is the same, whether it's caused by alcohol or the fact that you were using a cell phone, eating, putting on your makeup, or reading something while you are going down the road, or simply thought that actually learning to drive a vehicle wasn't worth your time. Just my 2 cents. "Rant off".

the difference between alcohol and this- alcohol is premeditated, meaning that it was thought out before you did it...if you have an accident..then thats what it is..an accident.

bart- i agree, no matter how well someone can go around other people they arent going to be able to outrun any type of warfare nowadays, so you might as well stay put and *&$# up anyone who comes your way....(i figure 100- 00 buck shot 12ga rounds should do)

i would just prefer to be stocked up at my parents house than mine....they live on 30 acres with lots of time for aim and reload

if something happened here in greeley i would be in serious trouble..its 20% college kids, 10% farmers/old people, and 70% gangs (not exaggerating, we are in the top 5 for gang members per capita in the nation)

so i think im gonna be both outnumbered and they are gonna have better gunfire...the good news is most of the gang bangers around here drive old cadillacs, buicks, hondas.....so i think i can outrun/run over all of these with no problem

i only have to worry about 'terrorist' attacks...

We'll have to agree to disagree, pbkid. If you have taken the trouble to learn how your vehicle works, and what it's (and your) limits are, and you are paying attention ONLY to driving your vehicle, the chances of you causing an "accident" are extremely low. If you are doing anything that causes less than your full attention being paid to your driving, then it's just as "premeditated" as drinking. We've all done it, but it's just as dangerous, and the victims (in the worst case) are just as dead. Current tests are showing that using a cell phone (even "hands free") causes more inattention than drinking, in many cases. The closest I ever came to dying was a near miss by a woman in a Bronco (I was on a motorcycle). She was reading a paperback book while she was driving, but she wasn't drunk. I'm sure if she had killed me, she would have felt badly about it, but her friends would have told her, "It was an accident, you didn't mean to kill him".

agreed....if someone is doing something that severely impairs their driving then they are 'premeditated' as much as drunk driving...to an extent (a severely drunk person has a reaction time up to 4 seconds longer than the same sober person, that is NOT safe)...reading a paperback book->yes you deserve to go to jail for an accident...
picking up a phone call->no, its a momentary distraction, the same as glancing as a bright yellow moon buggy looking car fly's by in the other direction...

and i completely agree and i would even argue that there needs to be more driving education before someone is given a license...people need to be tested on their natural reactions, their control of their vehicle in emergency situations, how easily distracted they are, etc.

Is it safe to say that a zombie can not have a driver's license? That would suck, a bunch of zombies drivin around in crappy wranglers

i can just see em driving around town running people over, and as they drive by, one jumps out of the back for a snack...

then off in the distance you see a black VX with a gattling gun mounted to the roof and rocket launchers on the hood....BART TO THE RESCUE!!!!
