Anyone have any stories/experiences involving drunk drivers?

This happened to me last night. I was driving down a road and up ahead I see this gray Chevy Tahoe come flying out from a street onto the main turn, almost flips, over corrects himself and shoots towards the median. I guess he figured it's a good time to go to the other side of the street, only he missed and dead on hit a tree. He then proceeds to back up, and go around the tree and jump the other side of the median and go down the other side of the road. So I turn around and decide to follow him at a distance and report him to the police. Eventually he stops at a house and I get a chance to see the damage. I can't believe the massive gash in the front end of his car that the engine didn't even die, and the airbags didn't go off. It kind of shook me up to actually see that kind of thing in person.

Anyone have any other experiences that they've witnessed in action?

i was on my way home one day, bout two miles from the house, when i get stuck behind a drunk driver in a dark grey 650i vert. he was strafing mildly on this two lane road and he accelerated and braked sharply.

we got to a stoplight and he opened his door, blew a couple of chunks, then downed a stoge like a hooker (w/e the term is where you pretty much demolish a cigarette with one breath)

Yeah I did. There was no way I could not do that, it just didn't feel right and I wanted him off the road. I went by again today where it's parked and the car looks like shit. The cops came and left a sticker saying they'll tow the car in 3 days.
