So many people mentioning that the drunk driver always never dies....don't know if anyone's explained this yet but I've read it's because during a crash their body is much more limber while a sober person will stiffen up, and that makes the drunk person more likely to survive being tossed around in a car during a collision.

Woman texted "driving drunk woo" just before fatal crash

Talking about the drunk driver obviously.
The one that's still alive?
The drunk ones doing the driving do a lot of times, sadly. I think it has to do with ethanols effect on the chemicals the body releases in those situations.
It sucks...Hope they throw the book at her. DD and texting? Get the hell out of here.

And it may be quite traumatic for the truck driver too, even if they rarely suffer any injury.
I see, I just needed to clarify if you seriously thought being the passenger of a drunk driver was natural selection, or if you just didn't read the OP past the thread title.
Given that you think I spoke of the person she crashed into, who survived the crash along with the drunk driver, I can safely assume it's just the latter.

Bumping this thread with an update on a similar recent story, where a drunk-driving woman responsible for the death of two friends is facing 24 years in prison.
The similarities to the story in OP are so many I originally thought it was about the woman in this thread.
Hopefully she gets a similar sentence.

Why rent a car to drunk drive? Surely the daily rate of a cab/uber would have to be cheaper?
So many bad decisions.
Fake edit, a standard rental costs about $60/day from Enterprise coming out of Miami airport. Plus insurance and gas and parking.

What a fucking moron
She deserves to be locked up.
She deserves to be locked up.
From the article, it sounds like she was sarcastically antagonizing her boyfriend for making her drive to him drunk: "I'll be dead thanks to you."
That obviously doesn't excuse anything, but it makes her sound like less of a braggart and more like just your classic idiot.

I don't think that is a strong enough word for her. Narcissistic murderer is more like it.

I had a friend who bragged to me about how he drove drunk two times, while coming home from parties. He'd do it in our not-so-small hometown, and actually had a cop appear across the road from him once.
He was proud of it. That he was able to do it. What the fuck?
I also have a cousin, who people have always liked, who jokingly commented about how easy it was to drive drunk from his place to his friend's whenever he needed to. I just shook my head.

Why anyone would willingly be in a car with someone driving drunk is beyond me. Maybe both were drunk I guess.

Not illegal at that amount in Germany.
I'm pretty sure you are very wrong. Different units of measurement. According to Google she was over 3 times the legal limit in Germany (.05 BAC).
It sucks her friend died for her extreme idiocy/callousness but at least it was some one who will give Her a guilt trip for the rest of her life. That will probably be better punishment than anything anyone else can do to her. Still, it always sucks that if some one has to die in a drunk driving accident it never seems to be the drunk driver (I'm not saying that I think the driver should die but if some one does one would wish it would at least be the person who chose to drive dangerously).

Fucked up, but this is stupid:
I mean this is typical, frivolous "let's sue everyone involved" bullshit from the lawyer.
