Good thing they asked him if he had been drinking. How else could they have known? Was Christinger one of the officers. Probably made a friend.

Police can tell right away if a person has been drinking and he was probably tested.

Bombing down an alley like it's a race track and he's the only one in the universe. He's too dumb to drive. This punk gets a recommended charge and lives to drive like an idiot again. Meanwhile someone is fighting for his life in a Vancouver hospital. He should not be allowed to drive again for at least 5 years, then every time someone asks him why he doesn't drive he can own up to why he doesn't have a license.

It begs the question..............

Why was he driving at a high rate of speed?

Was he joy-riding?
Was he impressing his passengers?
Was he fleeing for some reason?

Just why was he speeding?

Will we ever know!!

Good luck to the victim and get well soon.

Just to let everyone know, the driver of the pick-up was racing some friends in another car, the car that got hit was (as sad as it is) in the wrong place at the wrong time, the pick up drive was asked if he was drinking he said no,I can say this with confidence as it was my front yard it happened in. The ppl in the car has been drinking but that did not contribute to the accident.

There is nothing that will stop drinking or speeding, you can take a licence but you cant make someone stay out from behind the wheel, we can just pray that this kid will think about this accident everyday and about the person whom he injured and affected for the rest of their lives.
