Post; Drunk Nevada man turned wheel over to his young son


http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/1031062reno1.html
OCTOBER 31--Meet Alfredo Martinez. While the Nevada man should be saluted for knowing that he was too drunk to get behind the wheel last night, he probably should not have tabbed his seven-year-old son as his designated driver. Martinez, 37, was arrested after Reno cops spotted his car weaving across lanes and stopping suddenly. When officers pulled over the vehicle before it could enter a highway, they found a plastered Martinez in the passenger seat and his son behind the wheel. Martinez, pictured below in a mug shot snapped at the Washoe County lockup, directed the boy to drive him home because he was too drunk to do it himself, cops said. Martinez is facing a felony child endangerment rap.

This was SOP for me when my mom and dad would have a fight. Me and the old man would hop in the car, put on BB King in the 8 track, cruise through the drive thru liquor store and get a six pack of Olympia. We'd cruise around, he'd drink 5 and I'd get one. In return I'd grab the wheel as needed... I was 7... no harm no foul, in fact it helped developed my ability to judge spatial relationships.

A sober 7 year old is always a better driver than a drunk 37 year old.
