She was charged with driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of .16 percent or higher, according to police.
If I’ve said it once, I’ve probably said it at least twice, women do not belong behind the wheel. Or on top of wheels as the case may be. Pretty much being attached or near any sort of wheeled, motorized apparatus of any kind is a bad idea. But it really takes a special kind of cretin to be able to pull this stunt off. I mean, bad enough she crashed once and bloodied herself. But then she goes on to flip the goddamn thing? How do you flip a motorized wheelchair? Those things go like 5 MPH. Stephen Hawking has been driving one for years without incident. The guy is only a step up from a vegetable and drives it with his mouth for Christ’s sake. It was probably her terrible sense of direction that got her in that predicament in the first place. Had it been a dude, he would have cruised back to his trailer like he was on auto-pilot. I’ve done it a million times in my car. Hop in, half asleep, and start driving. Before you know it, you wake up from your daze, realize you’re at your destination and can’t remember a single second from your commute. Only bright side is that she wasn’t Asian. If she was, there absolutely would have been fatalities.
