Reply to comment by protocol1008 in Woman sues concert venue after getting so drunk she blew up a home, caused $15M in damages by EyeWantItThatWay
Typically 3rd parties can sue a drunk driver, but a drunk driver is not allowed to recover her own damages in this situation. But this happened in Florida I guess so all bets are off.
Edit: LOL Canada not Florida somehow. Same principle should apply.

No, it happened in Ontario

See my edit. But she has a Florida state of mind.

A TGI Friday’s in my city was shut down because a women left drunk and died in a car wreck that night.
The bar was sued and it was found TGI Friday’s over served her and on top of that knew she was drunk and let her leave. When the lawsuit was over TGI Friday’s shut down that store and now we only have 1 TGI Friday’s, which isn’t bad news for most.

I wonder was it the drunk woman's estate who sued? Or the other people she harmed?

Well remember, Americans have to be micromanaged with seat belt laws, and Kinder Egg Warnings. Because they can't possibly handle life outside the US. They'd won't last a week. And that stupid bitch is gonna put Canada in the same boat. Everything right down the Kinder Egg will have to be liable for something that is Not the company's problem. No one's fault that they can't control themselves but their own. Blaming someone else only leads to needless laws to be made so another incident never happens again. And yes the US did Ban Kinder Eggs (the best ones) because one parent was too lazy to supervise a child and choked. Leaving us with more stupid people to survive and thus creating this nation that we know today.

O uO And I wish not wear my seat belt knowing well what outcomes may happen if I don't. I should be entitled to make my own decisions without them turning me into a criminal all because I refuse to keep myself safe. And where's that damn KinderEgg!

Kinder egg = only hurting yourself with disappointment. Seatbelt? Now you are costing ME money to publicly fund your treatment for stupidity after getting in a wreck. You playing for all bills yourself, then there's no problems.

Even if you are paying your own bills, a no-seatbelt-driver-took-a-ballistic-path-through-the-windshield-and-into-the-grill-of-the-oncoming-truck accident will require a full freeway shutdown and hours of investigation and cost tens of thousands of people time and the local agencies’ time and money to deal with, instead of a much simpler no-fatality crash.
It’s the same argument in favor of motorcycle helmet laws. Not wanting to wear a helmet doesn’t bother me (though I think motorcycle licenses should be organ donor opt-out instead of opt-in by default) but when your scalp is shaved down to gray matter or your skull and a road sign attempt to occupy the same space, the extra effort to deal with that affects everyone else.

My point is we don't need more laws to protect ourselves from doing dumb shit, like not wearing helmets. It's common sense. The government can't protect everybody from harming ourselves and others during our process of being shot 90 feet into the air and still be a projectile for others to hit. The choices you make determines if you are SMART ENOUGH to continue to be on this planet without the aid of laws, regulations, and also if people were smart enough to know they are accountable of their own actions. And suing others for being too drunk is ridiculous! This can only tighten laws to micromanage the citizens better, because getting sued by a irresponsible person who survived a car crash that they started along with the chaos then after only makes people worry that there should be more regulations. Like how the US keeps regulating guns every time somebody loses their shit. It doesn't do anything. People still shooting each other.The same will go with that problem with her and her inability to take care of herself. If anything, she should be put in foster care for the mentally incompetent. Don't Drink and Drive. Common Sense; shouldn't be a law, but It has to exist because we're too dumb to think for ourselves.

Boy did you hit the nail on the head! Seatbelts are for suckers. Kinder Eggs are what’s really important/s

It's the most dumbest thing i could think of as a ban and something simple to survive from. A piece of candy.
