    Why is it that drunk drivers always get off with minor injuries, yet the people they crash into are horribly mangled or killed?

    If you're drunk you're less likely to tense up and are, thus, more limber and more pliable.

    Yeah, if we were wrastlin' or rolling down a hill.

    In a moving car at 55 mph or faster colliding into another solid piece of matter, a bit of flexibility is not going to let you dexterity roll out of major injuries. I think it's a cosmic thing, like "ha ha fucker, you're going to federal pound you in the ass prison".

    That does suck. Stupid drunk drivers. Porky's was, I think, one of the first movies i saw boobies in. Also, if I ever see that leg lamp from Christmas Story (pictured above) for sale anywhere, I would just sign a blank check over.

    Actually, a delayed response and inability to tense up will do wonders in a high speed collision. During a collision or impact you're supposed to "go limp" so your body can tumble and distribute the force more effectively (unless you know exactly how to roll, etc., but that won't do much good at 55 mph as you said).

    Hence why drunk people usually get less injured.

    I think the "Yukon vs. Infiniti" matchup might've also contributed to the drunk not dying.

    A drunk on a Huffy bike could hit Grey Hound bus full of guys in battle armor, and every person on the bus would die while the drunk would walk away with only a hangnail.


    True story.
