I hope that driver pays a big price for the decision to drive under the influence. He didn't kill you, but it could be a worse outcome if there is another incident.

I passed by there and could not figure out how the cars were where they ended up.

Glad you not injured.

When all the interior bags go off they do so much damage that even if it wasn't a Tesla it would be totalled.

Attack life, It's going to kill you anyway!

Second DWI in less than a year?!

We just had a similar accident in Fort Worth; she should never drive again.

With that record, he should be hoping those DWIs both occurred between policy effective dates and that she wasn't dropped by her carrier before this happened.

Aren't you supposed to have the breathalizer things attached to the ignition for 1-year after a DUI arrest?

Terrible, but glad you're OK!

This woman needs to be caned... multiple times, then they need to ban her from driving for life. Unfortunately neither of those things will happen and she will end up killing someone or multiple people someday.

So glad you're okay. Our daughter was hit by a drunk, and though she survived, it took her 18 months to be medically cleared back to work. And she will never be whole or able to walk without pain

To be clear, her leg shattered above her ankle. Thank God no brain, spine, or internal injuries. Driving a big truck, wearing her seat belt, and air bags

No punishment is too severe for drunk drivers

it was at 3:45pm on Arrington road in front of Blue Baker when I saw a car driving approximately 50 miles per hour straight towards me in my lane. I swerved at the last second to avoid a head on collision, and the car hit my rear passenger side and spun me nearly in a full circle and across the road.

The driver was arrested at the scene for driving while intoxicated but only after first trying to leave the scene and then refusing to cooperate with EMS and the police for an hour.

Dang, you swerved left into the other lane?!

Yes, I attempted to swerve into the middle turn lane when it became clear she wasn't going to stop or make any attempt at not hitting me on head on.
So she came across the middle turn lane too! Holy crap that's bad. I always remember my dad teaching me though NOT to turn left into oncoming traffic...even in the event of a head on, was better to run into the ditch on the right than to potentially go head on by veering to the left. Glad you're okay though!

Glad you were able to avoid the head-on. I think the normal head-on avoidance advice is to swerve right, since if the opposing driver does realize they are on the wrong side at the last instant, they are likely going to swerve right (and therefore back into your way). But clearly that all happens quickly, doesn't account for surrounding circumstances, and you may have to make a split second call. Big picture, you accomplished what that advice is trying to do which is avoid a direct head-on and not hurt anyone else, so nice job.

So I know a guy that went through this a few times, he had a very good lawyer and in this situation he plead guilty to the first and the 2nd was dropped. The 3rd conviction got him 6 years and he was paroled after 9 months, costing him over $70K (half for trial lawyer, half for parole lawyer). His prison included a mandatory alcohol program in a special unit and there were folks that got 15 years for their first but they probably had a record and a public defender.

I'm surprised she didn't have an Interlock beathalyzer since (at least in Harris County) judges make you get that immediately before your trial. Maybe she has a second car and I'm not sure if it's illegal to drive a car without one.

He quit drinking 10 years ago when this happened and luckily never hurt anyone. Dumb as shlt.

Yes. I'm probably a bit defensive still since it was only 36 hours ago and the whole thing still scares the hell out of me. Either way, I'm glad it worked out since she didn't ultimately make any attempt to leave my lane.


100%. You made the right move. A rule of thumb may say zig, but sometimes you gotta zag.
