Lesson #1 ~ Don’t Drink and Drive: Ross was stopped on Halloween evening after he was seen driving in the wrong direction at approximately 3:00 am. He reportedly admitted to having consumed two (2) drinks, was “extremely confused”, could not tell officers “what bar he was coming from” (although he was wearing a “Studio 13” wristband), was observed to have had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and unsteady balance and then reportedly took and failed roadside sobriety tests.
Memo to the Folks (recapping what we have learned via Ross McDonald): 1) Don’t drink and drive (especially if you have a history of drink driving); 2) Don’t wear your PIC (politically incorrect) Halloween costume while driving (instead, consider taking a moment to change into and out of it when you are at your destination)… in fact a good rule of thumb is to think ahead and don’t wear anything in public that you don’t want the world to see you wearing in your mug shot; 3) Unless you are confident that you are under the legal limit (which is always a tough call unless you’ve not been drinking, and in that event you open yourself up to a request for urine… which, for many, is taking things from bad to worse) don’t blow, but, if you are going to blow then a) don’t refuse and then change your mind and b) don’t think that you are not being observed in the interim… because you are) and finally, inadvertent #4) Time only moves in one direction so, without beating yourself up too much over things that you cannot change, be smart, learn your lessons and don’t repeat the same bad behavior / decision making that previously landed you in hot water .
