so we're supposed to call 911 instead of run them off the road, pull them out of their car, beat them and drop their keys a mile or two down the road? I haven't done that, just always thought it' be fun.

just so happens as i was on my way home last night..... (right after watching that).... i saw a drunk in a camry on 16 mile.... he was swervin in the lane nxt to him n almost hittin the curb... he almost hit a durango in teh next lane... so i called 911 and told the dispatcher the car and the license plate #....... about 2 miles down the road (since i was heading in teh same direction) right past mound.... this guy ends up gettin in the far lane... (which turns into the detroit news station and thus ENDS).... doesnt even realise hes headin straight for the curb and a sign...... i anticipated it n ended up braking just before he hits the sign ... it goes FLYING across 16 mile about 20 ft in front of my car..... the guy started backing up lik he was going to keep going and drive home......

moral of the story: CALL 911 WHEN YOU SEE A DRUNK.... IT KEEPS OUR STREETS SAFE AND SAVES LIVES.......give the dispatcher as much info as u can on the car... color... make... license plate #.... and where you are on teh road and what direction you're heading...... most of the time they tell u not to follow them as it can put u in danger.... however troy is starting to tell citizens to follow the drunk at a distance while they are on teh phone..... this has lead to more than 50% more being caught byt he cops

Exactly what I have been doing for many years already :smt025
