Probably around as bad as he feels with that being the last text before she killed her friend?

Woman texted "driving drunk woo" just before fatal crash

Didn't take long for the first to arrive.
You usually top that when you drive?
It is pathetic that DUIs are treated so lightly that people get off so easily and that there are so many lawyers out there who thrive on making DUIs go away.

Drunk Driving.
Texting.
Driving a Smart Car.
This chick had a deathwish foreal.

How the hell is she pleading not guilty? She was twice the legal limit two hours after the crash so at the time of the crash she'd have been even more over!
She was driving whilst drunk and texting, blasted through a red light, smashed into a truck and her passenger was killed. How do you even begin to build a defence to that with the evidence they have?

I hate it when shit like this happens and people who have absolutely nothing to do with the situation ends up dying.

She should know better and deserves the maximum sentence. I have no sympathy for drunk drivers.
As stupid it is what she did, I do feel some sympathy towards her. She acted on a sudden rush of emotions that she will regret for the rest of her life. I hope the friend wasn't put in a situation where she thought that being with her in that car was a better idea than leaving her inside the car alone.
RIP to her friend and I hope her ex-boyfriend does not blame himself at all. My condolences to the families involved.

Yeah, I don't want to be saying things like "she should have died or get the death sentence!" because I have no clue what was going through her mind at the time or still is. Break-ups can definitely make you go through the full spectrum of emotions and that can have disastrous results, and of course one is all it takes to ruin a life even if the person is otherwise stable.
That being said, no way would I justify this. If she's in jail for a decade+, I have no problem with that even if I can feel sympathy for her and the situation.

I agreed with the poster you quoted, if I can choose between her life and the passenger she killed. The drunk driver should be the one that died.
Unfortunately life isn't that convenience, I hope she live long and suffer. what she done is unforgivable.

Everyone deserves forgiveness. To wish suffering or death unto any person is wrong.

Killed her friend, something she has to live with the rest of her life.
Wow, is this suppose to be one of those "she's Spanish, big family lolol" jokes? Not cool or funny man.

I think that means her blood alcohol level was at 18% as the limit in Australia is 0.05 which is 5%

Not that texting while driving is somehow safer on its own.
"Worse things have happened."
That's cool, we'll all trust you over the legal limit set by the government and we'll put our lives and safety in your hands.
Sigh.
Shit like this happens because of ignorant and irresponsible people like you decide arbitrarily that 'you can handle it' and then have another drink, go out and kill some fucking innocent person. This isn't a game. By all means have a few drinks and then see if you can balance on a handrail on a bridge high over a freezing cold river. Then the only person you affect if your amazing judgement is off, is yourself.
How so?
A quick conversion for those in countries who don't measure blood alcohol as grams per 100 milliliters:
.178 %BAC =
178 milligrams per 100 milliliters of blood (I think this is the UK's scale, which prohibits driving over 80 mg/100mL)
38.7 mmol per liter of blood
1.78 grams per one liter of blood (%w/v)
Not that there is any level of drunkenness that's okay to drive at. Only to clarify some confusion.

She was being reckless with her own life, the life of her friend, and the lives of any people she might have run into on the road that day. I hope she spends a good amount of time in prison and is never allowed behind the wheel again.
People aren't readinf past the title.

Feel horrible for the family and friends of the deceased. She will have the live with the guilt that she killed her friend.
I hate driving during the middle of the night but I often do since I finish work around 1am. Not many cars on the road but it seems like quite a few of the ones that are have drivers who have been drinking.
I have had a couple close calls over the years. The scariest occurred several years ago while driving in the right lane on the interstate at 1:30am. A car sped by me in the middle lane heading the wrong way. It was a super foggy night so I didn't see the car until it was passing me. I was only driving about 50mph because of the weather. The car going the wrong way was probably going over 80mph. Glad I wasn't in the middle lane. I pulled over and called the state police. Hopefully they caught the person.

At first I thought that she was the one who died. Sad to hear that it was somebody else, but I'm "relieved" that at least it was her passenger rather than the driver of the other vehicle, as her passenger shares some of the blame for letting her not only drive drunk, but also texting.
Bitch, you're fucking guilty. At least admit to it.

I think drunk drivers are some of the biggest scumbags on earth and I absolutely can't stand the fact that the drunk driver is almost NEVER the one that is killed. I am not saying they need to die, but it is always somebody else that dies while the drunk driver survives.
I really wish this country would actually take DUIs seriously. I worked at a jail for a while and you could see what people were in for and you'd sometimes see "DUI: 3rd or more." I think after 1 you should get your license suspended for 5 years. If you get caught driving within those 5 years, drunk or not, you should go to jail for 5 years. Second one should be 15 years. Might be extreme, but we need to do something.

Self driving cars should eventually eliminate the problem of drunk driving.
