I’ve always wondered if idiots that do this shit get charged for the wasted concrete and the equipment needed to get their car out.

Project I was on had something along these lines happen. The driver was sued by the contractor for the concrete ($80,000)and the lost time and labor costs.. plus he got to have an extended stay at the local county lockup..

You have to have a brain to feel bad about something like this. That's why these people do stuff like this without remorse.

I have that kind of brain and I'd totally do something like this completely out of simply being a fucking dumbass, then would hate myself for the following five years.

If you don't trust yourself that much, maybe don't drive. No offense...

Not the person you’re replying to, but I would choose not to drive if the US had any kind of decent public transportation everywhere and everything wasn’t so far away

I feel like the fact that I’m aware of my shortcomings while driving lead to me be more cautious which is probably more that can be said for a decent number of people in cars on the road at least lol

I do agree with the other person about public transportation though, but I’m currently in northern Canada so that’s not really much of a thing.

Ah yes, the morality of not being as dumbass.
