I guess what I'm saying is that uber probably isn't going to prevent stuff like this because it isn't about getting from point A to point B, it's about showing off how awesome and daring you are.  At least that is my take.  This wasn't a routine crash, and it wasn't even routine as far as DUIs go. 

I honestly have no idea what point you’re trying to make here. It’s pretty simple - - if you are drinking; don’t ***** get behind the wheel. Period. I don’t care if he was 22 and driving a corvette, or 52 and driving a Ford Focus. The guy ended another human being’s life in an absolutely horrific way. And it was 100% preventable. There’s really nothing else that needs to be said. Other than the penalty for a DUI manslaughter should be much more severe.
