<snip> the official cause of the accident was > determined to be drunk driving. <snip> This is totally an aside, but in my neck of the woods, if the driver of an automobile has a measurable amount of alcohol in his system, and has an accident, there is no further investigation. Drunk driving becomes the cause for the accident automatically, no matter what the circumstances are that led up to it. It makes for good politics, because they can trot out official accident statistics regarding alcohol being the CAUSE. In one absurd incident, an unfortunate, and slightly impaired, chap was sitting at a red light waiting for it to change. He was rear ended by a person who was not paying attention, and was found at fault because of his impairment. Good politics, bad lawmaking.
