Oh, sure, and that explains why he would refuse a Breathalyzer which would have proved that he was NOT alcohol-intoxicated???

Yeahhhhh, right.

I just hate it when prescription medicine “acts unexpectedly” at 3 in the morning.

Woods apologized to his family, friends and fans ...
Well, I guess that makes it all okay.

Everybody has an excuse or blames their problems on someone or something else. Its never their fault or responsibility.

In many states now you can no longer refuse. If you won’t take the breathalyzer then they get a court order for a blood test and take you to the hospital for a blood draw. By force if necessary.

did they check him for crack? I bet half his body weight was crack. That would give him a crack bmi of 50

He will get off with a slap on the wrist. In America you get all the justice you can afford.

What a wimp he is, still behaving like a spoiled brat child who doesn’t take responsibility for his misdeeds. He’s most likely been taking heavy duty pain killers for years. He shouldn’t be driving at all.

Booze, driving at 5 am, pain killers =’s handcuffs and jail.

Too early to tell in Tigers case but a DUI these days is a monumental pain in the butt! This is his second driving incident the first being not an arrest but suspicious. Count on the prosecutor to seek ignition lock on Tiger immediately or No Drive totally or daytime only. All before trial.

I suspect they only do that in cases where a driver faces more than just a DUI charge — like vehicular homicide, for example. In the Toger Woods case there was no reason to do a blood test because his refusal to take the breathalyzer test was basically a guilty plea to the DUI charge.

LOL. Yeah. You take too many and then mix them with booze and you unexpectedly end up three sheets to the wind.

If you are drunk or high, call Uber or Lyft. Sober up and get your car in the next day. This is common sense. Perhaps Tiger Woods lacks it.

He seems to lack any moral concept.

For a simple DUI charge the punishment is automatic, and isn’t very severe for someone who has a lot of money and can pay a driver while his license is suspended.
