Well, my respect for Jayski just went down several notchs. *"Waltrip
hits motorcycle, is OK". *How about a little concern for the guy
riding the motorcycle? *A drunk in an SUV runs into him and sends
him to the hospital, and we don't even get a hint of sympathy?

Not Jayski's fault. The article he quoted from didn't have any news on
the condition of the motorcyclist either.

The bit I quoted is almost certainly Jay's wording. *And the sense
of it is clearly "Waltrip's OK, that's all that matters".

that was the biggest problem i had with the article was that jayski
seemed to care more about the condition of mw than the motorcyclist,
he was certainly injured you cannot be hit by a car on a bike and be
okay (most of the time). I have never been breathalyzed so i don't
know how a .08 reading would be but certainly the judgment of a driver
is impaired with every drink. I believe .05 is a good limit to have,
it makes people think twice before hoping in their cars when leaving a
bar or party. In ontario it isn't a set limit at .05, but if you're
pulled over at .05 the cops give a judgement call as to whether or not
you are in the mind to drive. but if u hit .08 or higher then its a
dui. if you get a DUI at .05 or higher its a suspension of 3-30 days
the first time you're caught.

if that breathalyser were given in ontario (where i live), he'd have
been cited for a DUI, they recently changed the legal limit from .08
to .05

And he would have easily gotten off.

i dunno about that, we've had a few hockey players get DUIs around
here and not gotten off.

I guess he could have added a comment that there was no word on the
motorcyclist's condition, but he's just passing along what information is
available.

I was a little annoyed that the source was all about MW and had nothing
about the rider's condition, or even a mention that his condition was
unknown.

I don't any thing about the law up there, but .01 over here in the
states, with a good atty, you will not be charged with DUI.

hmm i dunno, i guess it depends on the record but usually they are
pretty strict, and certainly if you dont get a DUI you will get
reckless driving

It's automatic 6mths licence suspension and $1500 fine for a 1st offence at
..05-.08 here, and I've hardly ever heard of anyone being given an inch.

Go over .08 and the penalty doubles plus jail time is available.

Unless you drive for Hendrick, in which case there is a "tolerance" that
warrants only a warning.

Regardless of who reported what, and how, HIPAA rules forbid releasing
information about the cyclist's condition unless he agrees to it.
Mikey will probably get sued.

Actually, I beleive they're allowed to report a general status
"admitted to the hospital and listed in critical condition" or
whatever the hospital says.

I doubt it. For all the goofball persona he plays on TV, he's not
an idiot. It's in his best interest for this to disappear as
quickly as possible, and his lawyer will probably offer the other
guy a substantial sum to settle without filing.
