But since you were sloshed you threw caution to the wind and cranked the wheel in what would be the single most expensive turn of your life.

You should "up" the d-bag factor and demand your friend who forgot his wallet pay for all legal costs since its all his fault. Or better yet, get that friend to split it with the guy who poured your two "house drinks".

No, you don't get it. It was suggested that maybe he wouldn't have pulled the u-turn if he had been sober because "people are more aggressive when they've been drinking". He refuted that claim, stating that he would have pulled the u-turn regardless. I mean, ffs, how many people do illegal u-turns out of convenience while sober? The answer is craploads.

Your post is garbage, as you're speaking for him and saying that he wouldn't have pulled a u-turn, and only did so because he was "sloshed", which is BS, as you don't know that.

He's been very mature about the whole thing, obviously learned a lesson, and will pay for his choice, and is now just looking for advice on how to best handle the fallout. Your post is just immature, speculative crap that doesn't add anything to the thread.
