One of my biker friends was pulled over while driving his pick up truck and blew a little above the limit. No accident or anything; knowing him he was pulled over for speeding or something. The DWI changed his life, there was jail time, it affected his employment, he's on parole for it now, etc. He finds little sympathy among people who all say the same thing: He could have killed someone.

About the same time he got the DWI, one of his best friends was killed while riding his Harley when a woman made a left turn across his lane. She couldn't see because there was a truck facing her in the opposite turn lane, but went anyway. She got a failure to yield citation and nothing else. That was just an accident.

So my friend can't leave the state and gets visits from a parole officer from time to time because he could have killed someone, and that lady is free because she did kill someone. Go figure.
