Default Driving Warning - my experience

I would like to share an experience with you about drinking and driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the years. A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends at the Marriott Hotel and had a few too many beers and some rather nice red wine. Knowing full well I may have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before: I took a bus home. Sure enough I passed a police road block but as it was a bus, they waved it past.

I arrived home safely without incident which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got it.

My story is very similar.

However, I have no idea where the MP squad car came from.

Back when I was 19, I had a similar experience, except:

Replace "a couple of nights ago" with "... back in 1979".

Replace "Marriott Hotel" with "my best friend's house".
Replace "few beers" with "dozens of bottles of beer".
Replace "wine" with "rum and coke".
Replace "bus" with "my best friend's mom".
Replace "I arrived home safely" with ....................... oh, never mind - you get the idea.

Actually I don’t have any driving experience like others but when driving its better not to drink and drive. Most of the time because of this so many accidents occurs.

We did not like his attitude on drinking and driving.

LOL

Because it was a troll and there were two posts, the second had a link to a lending site.
