酒後駕車危害大,不僅損害自己也危及他人。這道理大家都懂,所以各國都對酒後駕車用重典課重刑。
有一次在美國行夜車,車速緩慢,但後麵有警車亮燈。正納悶今晚我循規蹈矩,比日本人還要良民呢,怎麽警察還要找查! 警察叔叔來到我跟前,態度端正,說是看我行車緩慢還帶左右搖晃,疑我是酒後駕車,所以對我亮燈。當然測試後發現一切正常,隨即還我清白 -- 那都是20年前的事兒了。
今天讀到一條新聞更是出奇: 逮住了一位DUI嫌犯,警察自己吃了一驚。
Santa Ana police pull over, stun naked DUI suspect
SANTA ANA, Calif. California authorities got a shock of their own when they discovered that a drunken driving suspect they had just stunned with a Taser was completely naked.
Santa Ana police say the naked man was pulled over by police Wednesday night after his van hit a car.
Police Commander Stephen Colon says a driver alerted officers to the van that had just hit his car. He says the driver was fumbling in the front seat and refused to put his hands up.
Policed used a stun gun on his head and neck and then saw he was completely naked.
Colon says the man, whose name was not released, was being tested for drugs or alcohol.
首先說說DUI是什麽: 它是Drive Under Influence的縮寫,就是中國話"酒後駕車" -- 你喝了酒開車,也就是在酒精的影響下駕車。
這位嫌犯顯得生猛,警察對他開了Taser槍以後才停下。什麽是Taser槍? 是一種警用電擊武器(electroshock weapon),擊中人體後,會暫時癱瘓嫌犯反抗中的神經和肌肉(effects of neuromascular incapacitation)。
這位酒肉司機先是撞了一輛麵包車,然後在警察停住他後,又在車內折騰不停,並拒絕舉手投降,所以警察用Taser槍擊中了他的頭部和頸部,這才發現那哥兒們全裸。
聯想到中國酒後駕車也是問題嚴重,政府想要出台政策加以解決,但阻力很大。去年看到有新聞報道,廣東省想開先河,要立法禁止政府職員午餐喝酒,居然行不通。因為午餐灌黃湯的政府官員太多,法不罪眾,隻得作罷。
回中國探親旅遊時,每次對著那滾滾車流都是心有餘悸。生活富了擁有私家車了,是好事。但路況差路規跟不上有規不依,又使人膽顫心驚。09年一月中國的汽車銷售量首次超越美國,成為世界汽車大國指日可待。但汽車路上車人混雜,路少車多,加上那些喝了半斤八量的依然逍遙上道,中國的司機們真是在用他們的血肉築成他們新的車流。當然,中國司機不穿衣服的還是不多。
