Nicholas Cage

Now it is getting to the point where people are drunk driving no matter what time it is in Las Vegas. They don't even wait until late night. A drunk driver who had wine and cough syrup killed a mother and her 2 kids at a stop light. It happened around 6 PM and that poor woman had no chance since she was a sitting duck at a stop light.

I have to blame Nicholas Cage for these drunk drivers in Las Vegas. I think these drunk drivers watched "Leaving Las Vegas" one too many times and they thought that sh!t was real. That movie must've left an  everlasting impact in their lives. Maybe they thought that if they drive drunk, they would meet a prostitute who would give them free blow job or sex and take care of them.

There was an incident in Las Vegas where two state troopers were struck and killed by a drunk hit and run driver on a highway exit ramp. Two state troopers were checking up on a driver possibly sleeping behind the wheel on the side of highway. Then some asshole who drank more than a bottle of hard liquor decided to run away from the casino security and drive home. I can't even believe how this asshole was able to drive in that mind state for that long without crashing already. So it turns out, two state troopers were checking up on another drunk driver who decided park on the side of highway before they got smoked by a drunk driver. In the end, the police sent out the whole police force on the payroll to locate and arrest the hit and run driver.

Then there was another incident where out of state police/detective buddies came to Las Vegas for some fun. They rented a Bentley or Rolls Royce and the driver was apparent drunk driving when they crashed and one passenger who happened to be his partner in the police department died. 

Some people say it was a mistake. I understand that we are only humans who were born to make mistakes. However, if he is not a memeber of Human League, that was simply stupidity and not a mistake. If you read the news and details for yourself, you would agree with me that this was not a mistake.

I was also a victim of drunk driving. I will never forget that night when it happened. It was the last day of BTS concert in Las Vegas. The weekend was full of BTS concert visitors from all over the world. I was truly shocked by the number of visitors who came to watch this concert. I was on the way to the airport to drop a passenger. When I was halfway through the tunnel connected to the airport, a drunk driver rear-ended my car and pushed my car forward. Upon the impact, my fuse got disconnected and cut the power of my main Tesla battery. My car was no longer accelerating. It was slowing down gradually and naturally. After crashing into the back of my car, the drunk driver slowly rolled and stopped about 10 ~ 15 yards in front of me.

As soon as I found out that my passenger and I didn't need an ambulance, I went over to to see if the other driver was OK. Once I saw the driver inside, I noticed all the symptoms of a drunk person. She looked at me through her windshield like she was just crash landed on the Planet of The Apes. Then, I realized she was not just drunk; she was completely wasted to the point that she probably didn't even know what had happened. I'm not even too sure how she was able to open the door and start the engine. I had a thought of grabbing this girl by her neck and choking the sh!t out of her. Instead, I walked back to my car and meditated until the police officer arrived.

Though it was not my fault, I thought about what kind of bullsh!t I was going to be dealing with when it came to insurance claim process. And they definitely didn't disappoint with all the bullsh!t they threw at me. They dragged as long as possible to not process my claim and pay. They said they needed to make sure that their client was drunk driving. How long does it take to find out that their client was in a drunk tank with her car impounded? What about the police incident report? I don't care if everyone is busy. It doesn't take weeks. That's for sure.

The worst part of it was that this drunk driver had a sh!t insurance coverage. I believe I was lucky because she had to be going at least 90 mph before she passed out. If we were seriously injured with more damages to my car, I would've been really upset. It happened around midnight. And due to my car being Tesla EV and what was going on that night, I didn't get home until 8AM. It was a long 8 hours.
