Stupid drunk driving tard.

I smell MPD. Solomon's says the guy wasn't drinking at all ... wasn't using phone ... just bad luck. If you had 4 beers didn't the cops smell it on you?

Drinking and driving...dumba**.
Now, this is not an apology...it is really trying to free yourself by putting the blame elsewhere. You were at fault...and the drinking was the most important factor. You have bald tires (couldn't afford new ones...but could afford to go out drinking...and if someone else bought you drinks, should have asked for this "donation" to go towards new tires) and you decide to increase your odds by adding alcohol, decreasing your reaction time, skills and increase the risk of others on the roadway.
Don't drink, use other drugs, and drive...how much clearer do you want.
and this wasn't an accident...it was a crash, because it was avoidable...new tires, reduce speed, don't drink and drive, call a cab, friend, stay put.
Again, dumba**. If you had hurt anyone (or did damage to my home or vehicle...which I have paid for) I would have whooped you.

If you have insurance, you wouldn't have had to pay for it. If it were to happen. I agree with what has been said about drinking and driving. The only questions I have how long was it from the last drink you had and what was the time frame in which you had said beers? The reason I ask is because, example, if you had 4 beers in 30 minutes, but it was an hour since the last one. That won't cut it. 1 an hour or 2 an hour, fine. Depending on their body, prolly under the limit.

Maybe under the limit, but very likely impaired. He did, after all, hit a fire hydrant at a high enough speed to cause injuries.

I tried to come on here and apologize and the only thing back i get is some #######s who spend their time on a computer thinking they are perfect. thats cool. again, i'm sorry for any problems caused. i messed up i know. it definetly could have been avoided and thank got noone was seriously injured. if i had hurt someone i wouldnt know what to do with myself. ive learned my lesson with all of this, and am definetly going to be 100000x more careful when driving on the road. but please.. instead of spending your time making me feel like even more of a peice of sh*t for what i did, you could accept my apology and realize i've learned from all of this. thanks alot, and again... sorry.

wow, why don't you just off yourself already. seems like you never learn from past mistakes. oh and have a great day

Not denying that he was impaired, mentally and vehicularly. Not smart by any stretch of the imagination.

You admitted you were drinking. You admitted you were going too fast. You admitted your tires were bad. You admitted you hit a fire hydrant that thousands of people had avoided. You blamed your drunk driving and speeding on the roads.

You are an idiot. I just pray that next time you go out drunk driving on bald tires you only take yourself out, not an innocent bystander.

People like you put a bad face on your generation by drunk driving, crashing, then trying to avoid the blame.

are you all such losers that you have to have multiple names to post on here? i for one can tell you i am not j skotty. i have a few people on here that can vouch for me when i say that. just mention the name murphy to (and im not sure what their screen names are) jameo drew ron floyd.

now dont you feel stupid.

and im gonna go burn my tires off and run just you over. you wouldnt by any chance be fat would you? im sure my trusty truck could knock a few pounds off of you

The water company phone lines were jammed with several hundred calls at the same time. The outage created covered about 1/3 of the service area.

The party responsible would be well advised to contact the water company and give up her insurance information. A complaint for damages on the hydrant will be filed with the Sheriff soon.

Did you notice that he came on here admitting he was drunk, speeding, and had bad tires?

That should go over well with the insurance company, don't you think?
