Sadly, far too few are capable of this. Just as bad are the people who
see the drunk getting in the car and do nothing to stop him/her.

You must have missed out a while back on the person who bragged about
driving home (about 1 AM) for 30 minutes at a consistent 100+ MPH
blowing through red lights and stop signs in semi-reseidential areas.
Folks (myself included) came down on him pretty hard, yet he failed to
see how he was in the wrong, and even bragged that he'd be immune to any
action by the authorities because his daddy is the local sherrif (or
similar).
We do take careless street racing pretty seriously 'round here - there
is a time and a place for everything (and it's called college :) ). I
think most here are aware of that, and either don't do it, or don't brag
about it. I like to think that the people on the DML are responisble
enough to know how much is too much, and back off in hopes that the
other guy will do so as well in response.
