“Pee Stands for Park”



According to a research study at Rhode Island Hospital, drivers who have to urinate really bad are impaired as much as if they had a blood alcohol level of .05.  Another good reason not to drink and drive.

Awareness of the problem is key, but so far it's an upstream battle.

“Race with the Cops”


Rodney King was arrested on drunk driving charges in Riverside, CA Tuesday.  King had publicly struggled with alcoholism, and despite the help of nightstick-wielding white police officers, has yet to really beat it.

Hoping to avoid arrest on a DUI after he was pulled over for traffic violations, King said, “Can’t we all just get a ticket?”

King’s arrest and booking took place without any incidence of violence.  To celebrate their restraint, the police later went out clubbing.

The last time King had an incident involving being pulled over by Los Angeles police in 1991, it wasn’t funny.  It was a riot.
