One less drunk driver on the road!
My bride and I were headed into Tucson in our new Class C RV. Highway 77/Oracle Road is mostly three lanes each direction that feeds into Tucson from the north. I saw several cars taking evasive actio...

I had a similar experience back in 2000. Headed back to Beale AFB from the Sacramento Fairgrounds and picked up a truck that ended up going our way all the way to a house only three from the last on the road to the base. By the time LEOs arrived the driver was already across the street buying more booze.
Among other things this bozo forced a car off the road just short of a bridge and the whole while DW was on the BRAND NEW cell Phone with the dispatcher.
Since LEOs did not actually witness the crime I had to make the arrest and then I had to testify in court.
This was the guy's 5th offense and he had been on a restricted license for work only and was driving his boss' work truck.
I guess a combination of the defendant's history and my sitting in court in dress blues, testifying to the fact that as a course of my military medical duties was to detox patients for entry in to alcohol rehab made me a solid witness because the guy was sentenced to three years and permanent revocation of his driver license.
