Got stopped at a DUI checkpoint

It’s Friday night here in Taiwan, and the police had a number of checkpoints. I turned one corner and there they were.

I blew a 0.00.

TB: Two years, 11 months and 13 days, but who’s counting?

Good for you! How are the kids?

Congrats, man! That’s the only time it feels so good to get a zero on a test.

They blew a 0.00 too.

Congrats!

Isn’t it wonderful to not have all that crap that went along with drinking? No hiding bottles/drinks. No worrying about how to get your next drink. No worrying about getting pulled and going to jail. No waking up wondering exactly how badly you screwed up the previous night because you don’t remember the previous night?

Is blowing into the breathalyzer mandatory there, or do the police have to have something akin to “probable cause” to make you do it?

doing very well , thank you. When Beta-chan was two, she’ld alway point out the beer cooler at 7-11. “Daddy’s!” Now at six, she doesn’t have a memory of daddy drinking.

My called me the other day, and it so nice to be able to just answer “yes” without worrying about what had count out.

not sure, but it looks random. They stop everyone to talk to them.

I promise I’m not drinking, but I read the title as “Got *stripped *at a DUI checkpoint” :eek:

Luckily, I’ll be getting new glasses in another week or so.

What does TB mean?

ToyoBayer. Sober now for just shy of three years.

Was it fun to blow 0.00? Did you blush from how smug you felt? Because I would!

1063 days, one at a time. Not to jinx myself.

Congratulations!

Well done!

Lookin good.

Far better than blowing a 8".

Congratulations to both yourself & Sleestak!
Keep up the good work you two.

I dearly love a beer but nothing stronger.

First time I got pulled over I hadn’t been drinking (I never drive if I have) so there wasn’t a problem. However, I had the cat in a cage as I was taking him to the vet and I often wondered if I had been thrown in the clink what would have happened to the cat.

OK, I promise I wasn’t drinking when I posted that. Damn iPhone.

What I wanted to say is that my wife called out to me the other day and it was so nice to be able to just answer “yes” without worrying about what she had found out.

Hell yes. I wanted to circle back three more times.

You rock! One day at a time.

Don’t forget our friend, dropzone. He’s almost caught up with me.

And I hope I never do!

And keep the heat on. Don’t let me get a bigger lead!
