A woman in Texas was charged with DUI after she hit a red light and blew a 0.9 on the breathalyzer. However, she'd managed to place her lit grill on the back of her pickup truck, which was engulfed in flames and had drawn the attention of the local fire marshal by the time she hit the red light. She and her 3 year-old son were both fine, however the truck was a total loss.
Seriously, who puts a lit grill on the back of their pickup truck?!

0.9?!?!? She must have been hammered!
I think you mean 0.09..."Knowing what you stand for limits what you fall for"

Dead people have trouble blowing into the tube properly. That's a good inicator. Originally Posted by Blackgoat06

I did read of someone with a BAC of 0.6 that was still alive and driving.Last edited by MikeG; 08-03-12 at 03:46 AM.
