Women Busted for DUI For Pushing Car 1859Wrong. The pbuttenger was quite properly riding home in the car. Nothing at all wrong with that. That's what designated driver is all about - although this was not a proper designated driver, for sure...

All decisions were made on the potential for injuring a 3rd party, not on the minutia of the letter of the law that was designed to trap people unfamiliar with it, and designed to be unfamilar to people that don't show up at a law library and actually read it. That would probably be about 999 out of 1000 average citizens, BTW.
Because they didn't write it that way as a prominant feature of the law. These details are buried in minutia that, upon reading it, one would saw, "Naw, that's not what they mean." The act these women performed put no one in danger except maybe the small crawling insects they may have ran over - everything else capable of being hurt by a pushed car was also able to get out of the way. It just doesn't make any sense,
AND
their alternative action immediately after the engine died, leaving the car in the roadway to be hit, was unacceptable to anyone thinking beyond a hard-over desire to punish drunks just basically for being drunk no matter what they do.
