Use caution when boating this lake. The sheriffs boat patrol here is very poor. DUI boating is seen in this area. The sheriff gave up patroling the river north of the Portlandville bridge and all kinds of boating violations are seen here. Use caution because the boating law violators here don't care about you, your boat or your property and the sheriff doesn't care ether.

There is a web site for this lake that showes pics of their big lake day. One of the pics shows a boat owner with a Coors beer in hand. I hope he wasn't driving. Most of the time there is no law enforcement on the weekends and the boaters do as they please.

hey i have heard my whole life that my mom and dad were involved in a car wreck in 1987. i have never seen this car after the wreck. if anyone can get me pictures of that wreck please do.

if you know the county that your parents lived in at the time you can look in that county's newspapers in the archives and try to put in as much info as you can,and search for that article,you will most likely have to pay $3.00-$6.00 for that article if they have it.if you want me to help just email me with names and locations.

I heard that one of the San Jose Superior Judges daughter was killed by a drunk driver? Does anyone know which Judge? Wouldn't it then be a conflict of interest if this Judge presided over DUI cases?

there was a man named jeffrey on the television show "jail" and he had just been arrested for "dui causing great bodily harm" and I am very curious to see what happened to him..it must be an accident that just happened and the location was clark county, las vegas nv. can anyone help?

I do not know about this guy, but the same thing happened to me. The man who hit me already had 4 dui's, this would be his 5th. He was sentenced to 16 months in California's Folsom Prison. Including his county time and good time, he only did a total of 8 months. Only 3 of those months being in actual prison. Did I mention this guy did not have a license or insurance either. He was also ordered to pay back more than 24,000 dollars in medical, I have not seen a dime. It is now 3 years later and I am still paying out of pocket for this.

Jacki, you need to go to the courts and pursue payment of you medical bills. The courts will do nothing to assist you unless you demand assistance.
In September of 2001 I was struck by drunk driver. She actually hit us on purpose. She had stated that she was going to kill us and I didn't believe her. We stopped at a stop sign and sure enough she hit us 80 MPH and shoved us out into oncoming traffic. Her insurance did not have to pay medical bills because they deamed it "Road Rage" and "Road Rage" was not covered in her policy.
I have been struggling since 2001 to pay $250,000 in medical bills with no recourse. You on the other hand have a court order for the man that hit you to pay your medical bills. Camp on the sentencing Judges bench daily until he/she forces the individual to make restitution or go to jail. You can also enforce a judgement through collections. The next time one of your medical creditors sends you a bill, mail them a copy of the court order for the offender to pay.
Best Of Luck

i was reading everyones comments and it brought back memories of my best friends death in sept 1985, this drunk driver, last name McCORMAC was driving driving at such a high rate of speed that when he hit "lori" she was on her bike that the emt's had to take her and her bike to the hospital just to remove her body,he broke every single bone in her body.then took off running like the coward he was and still is,anyway i was researching her case and i decided to see what kind of sentence he recieved and i was blown away, that low life scum of the earth recieved 6-12mths,WOW! that mad me so upset and angry that i cried all day,my point is the laws have to be set higher for these creeps,he should have gotton 20 yrs in prison.these laws have to be harder and inforced,just because it was his first offense?that's crazy.i hope he rots in hell for the rest of his miserablr,sorry,worthless,pathetic life. i miss you lori jones,died sept 3,1985 by drunk driver while on her bike.

I'm trying to find (CURRENT) statistics on DUI deaths in the UK, compared to the USA. Anyone know where I might be able to find this info?

My father, Arthur James Lent, was killed in August of 1979 by a drunk driver in Montery, CA. He was driving a semi that was filled with fuel. From the little news paper clippings that I have found, very few and they are not dated, he was hit coming into town and drove while on fire through town to the field where his "rig" blew up. The woman that hit him,from the information I have, did not serve any time and was a habitual offender. He was killed two months before I was born and I am trying to find any information I can about what happened. I don't know where to start. My grandparents have since passed and my uncle, his baby brother, is still very tender about everything. Please anything would help.

My grandson Timothy Payne was killed by a drunk driver on March 11, 2009. He was 22 years old. The charges were dropped concerning Tim's death, and the driver of the car is only charged with 2 misdemeanors. The driver blew a .09 alchol level but passed the majority of the roadside testing done. If anyone has lost a love one due to a drunk driver and is not receiving the justice they feel is due, there is strengh in numbers please contact me.
Because our family had been so hurt and let down by the justice system please do not contact me if you are not sincere.
