I know, right? I've watched these rescues and it takes a long time to extricate victims. Man. I have no idea how it would go if the vehicle caught fire.

Well, she's his friend and it appears to the untrained eye that they are just standing around. I would say it's probably a good idea to have someone talk to the victim, hold her hand, tell her we're waiting for special equipment to get you out. And instead of telling her friend to step away and let them do their job, just say, I know it's upsetting to see her like this, but there's nothing we can do until the equipment gets here; it's on its way; let's try to stay calm so as not to upset her any more than necessary.

My first thought as well. It's not like they can snap fingers and make it happen. But then again, I've watched fire response videos from the chief's view point and it seems like it takes forever for them to get started when in reality most of the time these guys have the fire out in 15 minutes. I'm sure time seems like it's flying if you're on scene compared to us watching it.

Right! Ya no, "we're just going to leave her there, cya". Really, some people.

@@reolynn4611that’s terrifying. Praying for your mental health.

I was sitting at a light in a 1995 Nissan Sentra and got rear-ended. Next thing I knew I was hitting the car in front of me. Broke my seat back and I was looking at the roof of the interior when we came to a stop. Had a belt on but the wreck literally reclined the seat all the way into the back interior and it would not come back up afterwards. I got banged around but didn't have to go to the hospital. Felt ever worse hours later.

And my boo Ty stanky stanky

FSTS are not pass or fail. They're just to collect evidence against you in court. Once a piglet asks to do an FST, arrest is imminent.

Sure looked that way. I can't help but wonder if it's just a preliminary arrest pending the results of the blood test. I doubt thats the case, but watching him take that test, he did better than I would when I'm sober...

He really didn’t though. I saw him take quite a few questionable steps there.

Hope she's sober enough to get the message.

To lose weight, yes. The emergency team struggled because of her huge size.

Agreed. People need to consider these factors before they eat themselves into the 300+ category.

Try flying next to one. She insisted that she would fit in a center seat. Then request seat belt extensions because all off it was in front. Thankfully it was a short flight.

She's in for a long recovery if she has a back injury. Her neck appears to be okay. She was twisting it in the car.

Not only is it a great tool, it has a great name for the tool.

🤣🤣🤣

Nah, too small

It’s not just alcohol that can impact driving ability.

Probably high

Im sure he wasnt...thats the soberist test Ive ever seen

Me either. I think he did pretty good on those tests. 🤷‍♀️

He's just been in a major accident and his lady is injured. The adrenaline and stress would make anyone be disoriented. His shoes weren't helping for the toe-to-heel walk either.

My comment did not include this info , but you're right 100% .

Right

Agree

Andddd...it looked like he passed the FST's anyway...why did they slap the cuffs in him??!...but yes, I agree...they should not have jeopardized his safety with their ridiculous tests.

Very true. I was up moving all around saying I was just fine. Someone noticed blood coming from my knees. I even turned down the ambulance. Within 15 min the shock wore off and I was shaking I was in so much pain. Had broke all my ribs on left side. Compression spinal fracture, another fracture in spine, broken foot, knees went into dash and destroyed them, internal bleeding, cuts in my neck from seatbelt and in my hips. Had a three inch wide seven inch long hematoma on my hip from seatbelt. Cuts and bruises everywhere. Since the US no longer treats pain I got 1-5mg lortab and nothing else. Cried for two months from the broken ribs. You can see the misplaced ribs in my chest now and feel them. My spine is screwed for life. It was a 60mph wreck. Car ran a stop sign last minute and I had no time to hit the breaks. Was an awful crash.

They sure are. I've been in her position & it's scary as hell.

And broken bones hurt terribly and long recovery. If he has car insurance she'll get a settlement.

Yeah, I'm not taking any cheap shots at her. That looks like it really hurt, but at least she is still in one piece. It's really not a great idea to argue with the driver, especially if he/she might flirt with failing a sobriety test.

No, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. the truth is when you are morbidly obese like this an average situation can turn into critical life-threatening problems. Not only her size kept them from being able to help her quickly, but if she has to have surgery or rehabilitation it is going to be a nightmare for her and for the people around her. to care for her in a hospital bed will take three caretakers. Trust me I've been through this before. Don't let yourself get like this folks because it can literally kill you.

And if he doesn't, she'll sue! ​@@user-lm9ev9pj2n

I don’t think the slides help but I wonder if he had warrants and/or something in the car because he didn’t seem drunk to me but shock and adrenaline can sometimes sober us up but not enough to hide certain signs of intoxication.

There's no way that guy was under the influence. His tests were perfect.

I saw a video in which a young woman was really shaken up after a crash. She was trembling and tearful and had difficulty walking a straight line. They said she was drunk, but her blood alcohol level exonerated her---zero alcohol in her system. After watching that, I tried to walk a straight line in my living room. Zero alcohol in my system and I could not walk a straight line! So scary.

@@fulanichild3138 NEVER EVER do the FST's.....only purpose is to use evidence against you

Those eye/walk/balance tests are of little value. The only reliable indicators of alcohol levels are breath, urine or blood tests. If I was ever stopped for "suspicion of DUI" I would absolutely insist on one (or all) of these. It may be the case here that in the event of an accident, some sort of "alcohol" test is required and that this is standard procedure.

@@Slide164 Did that actually happen?

Read the description above it explains he was arrested for DUI ……….

He probably WAS drunk, but the crash sobered his a## up. The thing is, you can't hide anything from a blood draw. As long as he was above .08, they had him. He should have refused the draw.

Wow, you can tell that from the comfort of your phone or computer, shut the hell up

You don't get charged with DUI for being sober.

He also passed the eye test right before that - easily!

Yes, I noticed too plus as zariballard commented, he also seemed to pass the eye test 🤔

My ex could always pass those tests even though he was SH*T faced. So because of the injuries, they are going to need a breath and or blood test. But they have to do the gymnast tests first. Don’t take the tests? Why?. Even if you get arrested and taken into custody, you will go free if you are .08 or less. Nothing to fear Unless you have been drinking. For those who say going to the jail is an inconvenience if you aren’t over the limit. What about all the people who were inconvenienced because you couldn’t control your vehicle.

Same here and there would be an so called emergency doctor (NOTARZT) the hole time. I way more skilled and in charge of the procedure.

Don’t have to be drunk, could have been impaired . DUI= driving under the influence

I didn't think he looked inebriated enough to be arrested myself.

Why doesn't the US use alcohol breath testing kits instead of the 'walk the line ' test. That is what we use in Australia and they appear to be very accurate unless we are being lied to. What do you think?

@@TheSoundofSilence343 Some officers have portable breathalyzers, but not most. The field sobriety tests are pretty accurate. If they fail, or perhaps refuse to take the test, they'll be take in for a blood, breath or urine test. Usually, they get a choice, but if drugs are suspected, a breath test may be ruled out, as wouldn't show the presence of drugs.

Wait...what? Cops can arbitrarily change the legal limit? Nice to know. Typical LE BS, don't know why I'm surprised.

@@KonekoPurrrfectionDo you just assume everyone that is large is that way because they eat too much? There are medical conditions that cause over-production of fat cells. There are conditions that cause the body to not break down fat cells. There are conditions that can cause **both** of those things. There are medications that can cause one or both of those things - and if taken WITH either, or both, of those conditions can lead to "morbid" obesity. Being overweight is not always directly related to how much or what you eat. So, what's your excuse for being rude and judgemental?

It's sad that people don't understand obesity isn't always about "food". But, rude comments like those reflect more on the person making them, than on the person they are about.
