Even before I got to that part of the article I chuckled when I read about him riding on wintry roads at 11:30 PM. I'll bet he didn't have snow tires and antilock brakes either. OOPS! Thats not relevant.
She refused a breathalyzer test--that doesn't mean she was drunk any more than one who take the Fifth Amendment is automatically guilty. She is charged with a crime and all of a sudden we decide she is guilty! My, what a bunch of Ashcroft-wannabees we suddenly have on this board. Face it...some people saw red as soon as it was clear she was driving the big-bad-wolf of the new millennia, an SUV.

Breathe in, breathe out.
Misread it, thought it said 11:30 am.
(Keep breathing, we're getting your therapist on the phone right away...)
Still don't know why they mentioned he wasn't wearing a helmet. Helmets are for protecting your head against falls, they don't do didly squat against SUV's.
