I mean tbf it's right about when you think you're really good at it that driving drunk ends up fucking you so... shockingly accurate?
It's like riding a motorcycle - it's not IF you crash, it's WHEN.
I stopped hanging out with a girl I knew in college. She nearly crashed her car twice while drunk driving in her 20s, non-fatal, and constantly bragged about it. And not sure why she likes risking her life or of innocent people.
No idea what she's doing in her life now.
Hopefully cherishing it.
Hopefully not driving, and not drinking, but really hope not both at once anymore
Yeah that's just the part where you pass out behind the wheel.
I agree with those lab results.
It should have made the controls more sensitive over time so at the end you're swerving back and forth
Or just increase your "drunk meter" by increasing the input lag. Then have someone walk out into a crosswalk or something.
And/or increase the delay between the commands and the game.
Simply have the game swerve for you and you have to correct it.
They should end it by having another drunk driver come out of left field and crash into you instead
Or flashing red & blues in the rearview
Then the red and blue becomes the victory condition. We had to ban bars from having coin op breathelizers because folks were trying to get high scores.
Actually I like how European/American Truck Simulator models tiredness. At some point you see some black out and the controls don't respond for a few seconds. Good luck recovering from that depending on the driving situation.
We did this in highschool but with a texting and driving simulator. You had to drive the car and not hit a ton of obstacles meanwhile texting back a specific message in response to incoming text messages. I played a shit ton of video games as a child so I was super good at this and never crashed. Made the gym teacher mad. I still understood the point of it though of course but I liked being able to beat the game.
Drunk driving is absolutely safe, it’s just a ploy by the globalists to keep men from being manly and keep Trump out of office!!! All Trump fans should protest by loading their family into their cars and drunk drive around Pro-Trump neighbourhoods at breakneck speed.
Ah, yes. Using an obvious lie to prove your point. This only works, of course, when you have some authority over the people you are trying to convince.
Sounds fair to me
Ahhhh, it is some Kobayashi Maru type of setting!
lol.. when I was in high school there was some sort of D.A.R.E. program, just named something else.. they asked us to wear goggles that was supposed to simulate vision while high on marijuana. I burst into laughter and said, "this absolutely does NOT happen to your vision on marijuana."
The goggles had a haze-like film and some other sort of fractal film where each movement you made it was supposed to simulate hallucinations / flutter vision.. the police officer who looked like he was maybe in his mid twenties had a grin on his face as I passed the goggles onto the next person.
That was a point in my life when I realized.. the authority we're supposed to obey are just average dumb ass non-thinking humans.. what we call today, NPCs.
I'll never drive drunk but I don't mind driving after a couple of joints.
Driving under the influence is driving under the influence. No two ways about it.
So I'll agree I think weed is overall safer than alcohol (just my own feeling, not backed by anything), but it is by no means safe.
I used to do it all the time when I was young but I stopped after one very stupid near-miss: I completely failed to notice a car was stopped in the middle of the road because I was too busy admiring how fucking cool the moon looked at that moment.
Not worth
The username.
Driving while yapping away on a Galaxy or iPhone is worse than being fucking drunk. Both, is double worse.
Drinking is definitely worse. Like, talking is bad sure, but drinking is much worse.
True, that's why I only yap away on Motorolas while driving.
I never understood the thought of handless calling being a bad thing, like sure it's slightly distracting but not more so than talking to a passenger.
The difference is an adult passenger tend to also be somewhat aware of what's going on on the road and will tend to shut up when things get hairy, even if only through panic. Someone one the other end of a phone won't until they hear the crunch.
Mythbusters: Driving Drunk Vs Mobile Phone
Edit: Episode Part 1/3 Part 3/3 (I couldn't find 2/3 anywhere annoyingly enough)
TL:DW: They found driving while using a cell phone is potentially as dangerous as driving drunk. They scored lower in their crash course while on the phone
Important to note:
- They didn't mention how much alcohol was consumed (or they did in the episode and not in this clip, give me a break I found this in 2 minutes on the shitter)
They show them taking a breathalyzer test. Im going to assume they were testing to be over the limit to get a DUI (.08% in the US), though it's not shown or mentionedA clip of part 3/3 says that they stayed below the legal limit (@ .065%) so they would NOT be legally intoxicated- The sample size is like, 2. Not very statistically accurate, as mythbusters is entertainment and not a real scientific study
- Theyre on a closed course. No pedestrians, no stop lights, no other drivers, no "unpredictable" variables in which you would need your reaction time, which would be impaired if you were drunk
- Theyre using flip phones held up to their ears, on a phone call. Results probably vary (though are probably worse) texting vs a phone call and on modern devices vs old ones
No real claim either way to one being worse. Moral of the story being get off your fucking phone and don't drive drunk and you dont need to worry. [email protected]'s claims aren't necessary wrong, but they're not necessary right either
