And I never said anybody should excuse my choice that night. I was responding to the question "why would anybody do it?" And I have also stated that since that night I have learned not to trust the Calgary taxi service with my life. And that isn't a hyperbole- we are talking about life or death here. All other options had been exhausted
However, I would be willing to bet that every night somebody else makes that same mistake I did in trusting taxis. As recently as a few months ago I have seen MADD commercials telling me to take a cab home. What I am suggesting is a solution for those people; the more drunks we can keep off the roads the better- right.
So here's a question for you reforever- have you never driven when you were impaired? And by impaired I mean you could have been close to .08 but without testing you wouldn't know for sure. Or have you ever taken a ride home from somebody who was impaired?
