I had a panic attack when I was a little kid because I saw a “don’t drink and drive” commercial before getting into the car with my dad, who was drinking a can of Coke.

Considering how I react to caffeine in excess, I’m better off drunk and driving than caffeined and driving lol

“EDITOR’S NOTE: After the airing of this story, the Minnesota State Patrol confirmed Krieger was pulled over because she was driving without a seat belt.”

Hold on. It looks like there’s more to the story.

I remember thinking, “when I’m old enough to drive, I’ll never buy a pickup. Too slow.”

Did you look at the page I linked, or go straight to the news story?

“The department’s story now, in fact, is that Krieger was pulled over in the first place for not wearing a seat belt. Krieger says she only took the belt off after she was stopped, and it sure sounds like the belt ticket was an afterthought. I guess we only have Krieger’s word for how this went down, but unless she has crafted and is pursuing a strategic media plan to raise the chances that she will get out of a seat-belt ticket she deserved, it’s hard to see why she would make this up.

“The alternative, though, would require us to accept the possibility that a police officer would interfere with a citizen for no reason, or—even more shocking—might later fib in order to justify what would otherwise have been an unconstitutional stop. I guess we may never know the truth.”

I have a distinct memory from a young age of my mother getting my dad a travel mug, and I asked “What’s that for?” she told me it was so he could drink coffee on his way to work. My response was “But then he will drink and drive!” - I don’t think I understood the concept of alcohol yet.
