Now you are the one lying.

In 1972, it wasn't illegal to drink and drive. Not for truck drivers or anyone else. The standard for DWI was a BAC of .15. And in 1972 emergency rooms didn't note if someone was suspected of having been drinking. It wasn't against the law, and would only have been noted if the driver had been visibly impaired. Alcohol on the breath wouldn't even have warranted a raised eyebrow.

Let's be clear: In 1972 the driver would have had to have a BAC of .15 to have broken the law. At .149 he would have been legal. There would have been NO cause to test his sobriety unless he was visibly impaired.

Apologize publicly for what?

For the suggestion that the driver had had a drink?

FORTY YEARS AGO IT WASN'T ILLEGAL FOR SOMEONE TO HAVE A FEW DRINKS AND THEN DRIVE. IN 1972 YOU COULD LEGALLY DRIVE A CAR OR A TRUCK AFTER DRINKING A SIX-PACK FOR LUNCH. MR BIDEN DIDN'T ACCUSE THE DRIVER OF COMMITTING A CRIME. HE THOUGHT ALCOHOL MIGHT HAVE PLAYED A ROLE. AND WE DON'T KNOW THAT IT DIDN'T. BECAUSE THE POLICE PURSUE CRIMES. AND DRINKING AND DRIVING WASN'T A CRIME IN 1972. THE POLICE HAD NO REASON TO TEST MR DUNN'S BAC UNLESS HE WAS VISIBLY IMPAIRED. FALLING-DOWN DRUNK. SLURRING HIS WORDS. SHOWING SIGNS OF CONFUSION. OPEN CONTAINERS OF ALCOHOL IN THE TRUCK. A DWI ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE DRIVER'S BAC WAS IN EXCESS OF .15. TODAY'S STANDARD IS HALF THAT.

Wow.

You really thought that was an appropriate comment? You thought it was funny?

A tractor-trailer, a guy who allegedly — and I never pursued it — drank his lunch instead of eating his lunch, broadsided my family and killed my wife instantly, and killed my daughter instantly, and hospitalized my two sons, with what were thought to be at the time permanent, fundamental injuries.”

As reported by Inside Edition, a police investigation of the accident showed that Mrs. Biden pulled into an intersection after she failed to notice an oncoming tractor trailer, which apparently had the right of way. The truck’s driver, Curtis Dunn, put his own life at risk in an effort to avoid the collision; he twisted the wheel so hard that he overturned his vehicle. Delaware Online adds emphatically that neither driver had consumed alcohol.
Biden, Obama and Clinton are all congenital liars

You really are clueless.
I'm sure that if it were you who lost someone in a car accident, your sympathy would be with the other driver right?

Right.

It is simply amazing how people can be so hateful.

And, as many others have noted, they did not test for alcohol in the early 70s.

That's not true anymore.
How far back in your history would we have to go to find you making remarks about something you honestly believed but didn't have any foundation for such beliefs?

You notice that the next post from this poster was an Ayn Rand quote.
'Nuff said.
