-Caveat Lector-
Sorry, Bob, If someone borrows your car, gets drunk/DUI ect. you are in no way
responsible
for that, you would have to be psychic to know ahead of time....and that is not what
is taught
in AA....Besides you don't get your vehicle back if you win the criminal case, then
you have to beat
the civil case....which takes money, which you have to make, while trying to
hitchhike to work....
all because someone got a DUI in your vehicle.....besides this isn't being done to
protect anyone
TEO is right it's about GREED/MONEY....and control.....
