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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Edit: Episode Part 1/3Part 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 mentioned A 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. Dreizehn@kbin.social's claims aren't necessary wrong, but they're not necessary right either
I propose we take these ideas and build our own drunk driving game that gets gradually more impossible to play and with more risks the longer the run continues. Like Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy meets that DPKR Crazy Taxi clone.
Nah, I meant more that it was next to impossible to not get the cops on you when you drove drunk. Even if you somehow managed to drive reasonably well (which was stupid hard), getting anywhere within a block of a cop set them on you.
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.
