If you can’t understand that there’s a difference in danger to yourself and others while driving drunk on a rural gravel road vs on I235 through Des Moines then that’s on you. Neither are right, neither are legal, but there is a vast difference.

I’m a Pub and Hideaway fan. The M was fun in its day. South Side just changed hands in the past couple weeks, actually.
Iowa law drops DWIs off after 10 years. Meaning you could get a DWI every 10 years and 1 day and it would always be considered your first. First one is generally a weekend in jail. So if you start at 20, go 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 with a day extra or so between, you could get your 7th at 80 and it would be considered your first.
Never had one, so not from experience but know a couple guys who have had repeat ones and didn’t know what it always said first and a lawyer friend explained it to me.
This is a borderline racist post, disgusting.
Are you suggesting only white people grow up in rural areas? What a racist comment! See, I can make **** up out of the blue too.

I'm starting to think the state of Iowa just might have an alcohol problem.....
My dad was nearly killed on a rural road by a drunk driver. Your opinion is stupid.
Wasn't terrible at all, I loved it...whenever we weren't working our asses off on the farm or playing every sport (since we needed the numbers) we had a lot of fun, could do basically whatever we wanted. Wouldn't be for everyone, particularly those that need a large amount of interaction with others, but I really enjoy solitude and dislike crowds/people in general anyway.
The fact that you made that singular is spot on........and luckily she wasn't my cousin. Having only 10-15 people in graduating class, most took their hormones to the next county.
Kid I graduated high school with.... died drunk driving on a rural gravel road in western iowa.
this drunk driving culture in iowa is sick

About half of the people I known that have been killed in DD accidents were killed on gravel roads. At least 6 were killed because they didn't have seat belts on more than anything. 4 got ejected and the vehicle rolled over them, 1 got ejected and froze to death, and one got ejected through the front windshield and hit a telephone pole.
Jeez there are a bunch of people from my area on here. I'm from Riceville. Lived in Mac next to the Pit Stop for a while. Lived in Osage for a while. But spent most of my life in Riceville, before moving to the DM area now.
I remember back in like '94 a bunch of kids from Corydon got killed hill jumping on gravel down around Powersville, MO. Killed 4 or 5 of them. Bad deal.
That's a teen driving problem and why stuff like GDL was put into place.
'Why all of these restrictions?'
'Because humans, namely teenagers, are stupid'.
Jesus, this is a stupid conversation. How anyone can think drunk driving on a gravel road is safe is ludicrous. I'm embarrassed to count someone like that among Iowa State fans.
I have no idea on the stats, but I do know that when a person drives drunk they are likely not driving carefully or slowly. And I do know that driving too fast on gravel roads is dangerous and risky sober.

Do they still have a drivers license or are they just driving under the influence while barred?
Both. He had his license when he got his last one. They charged him over a bad motorcycle accident he had over by Afton. They even waited like a year and half for him to heal and just showed up at his house randomly and charged him. Took him to jail, he posted bond, and I don't think he ever did any other jailtime over it. I don't think he currently has his license but I know he is still driving drunk everywhere because he knows they won't really do anything to him.
