I have been close, but never blown over. However I have to agree with Fotze, the solution should involve better solutions for when people are drunk. The last time I drove near drunk was a New Year's Eve. Calgary Transit had told me the last train from Anderson was 11:58pm. (Turns out it wasn't.) At 12:30 we started calling cabs. 5-10 people dialing cell phones unable to get through. Finally at 4:30 I decided to drive- there were no other options.

Of course now I know not to rely on taxis in this city. But all the advertizing we see tells us to take a cab if we are drunk. Unfortunately that doesn't work in this city most of the time.
