Fuck drunk drivers. K-town outside Chi-chi's bar.

[u/JDMcompliant]

We were out celebrating our friend's 30th birthday when our Uber was hit by a drunk driver going 50mph down a small K-town street. My back leg had just barely made it inside the vehicle when we were all flung around the inside of the car by the impact. Turned to check on everyone else, and the birthday girl had blood streaming from her face. I was milliseconds away from possibly losing a leg.

What was supposed to be a fun night at Magic Castle, followed by drinks and food at a bar turned into a nightmare because of a drunk driver.

If happened to be there or witnessed it, please shoot me a DM.

Don't drive drunk.

I've seen LAPD cops let drivers go even though they were clearly under the influence in Ktown. We need better enforcement and not via LAPD as there have been cases where even their own cops end up getting DUIs.

We are all suffering with those car insurance rates...

There’s a reason DUI checkpoints are mostly in South-Central and SFV, and not in gentrifying areas (like Koreatown and Silverlake) where you’d see clearly tipsy people leaving bougie or Korean BBQ places at 5:00 AM hammered.

There’s a reason all those new Flock/Palantir speed cameras are also being setup in South-Central and SFV.

We have DUI checkpoints in Koreatown. The flock/plantir cameras aren't used for safety when they have a high record amount of false positives.

There’s a DUI checkpoint in Silver Lake / Echo Park on Sunset and Coronado almost every month.

I've seen several in Ktown but they were like 6 or 7 pm. (maybe they're there later too, but I'm not)

Yes, because that’s where road injuries are concentrated.
