The latest celebrity busted for DUI is plastic-surgery challenged Vivica A. Fox. She was busted on the freeway going 80 in her Escalade. When she got pulled over she failed the field sobriety test and was hauled in to jail, where they gave her two breathalyzer tests. Cops didn’t reveal how far off the legal impairment limit she registered, but they say it was “definitely over” the .08 level.
It happened last night on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley at 10:57 PM. We’re told Fox passed a marked black and white while going approximately 80 mph. Sources say the officers went after the 2007 Cadillac Escalade she was driving.
The officers administered a field sobriety test — which Fox was unable to perform. The former “Dancing With the Stars” contestant was then placed under arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Fox was taken to Van Nuys jail where she submitted to two breathalyzer tests. CHP spokesman Leland Tang told TMZ, “It was definitely over the .08 legal limit.”
I’ve heard of Fox but I don’t really know why she’s famous. A cursory IMDB glance shows that she’s been in a lot of television shows and crappier movies. I sort-of remember her in Kill Bill. She was also on “Dancing with the Stars” last year, where judges praised her, but she didn’t get enough call-in votes to remain in the competition.
Can I just say that the public transportation in America is lousy? I don’t want to stir up a whole controversy here, but we have one car in Switzerland and the tram and bus are so convenient and easy to use that I would rather take them than drive.
People definitely need to take responsibility and be harshly punished for driving drunk. There need to be alternatives too though. It’s not a cut and dried solution since the roads and infastructure in the states were built for cars. It’s big in America and would not be as simple to set up reliable and convenient transportation for each small city and town. Still, the few times I tried to take the bus I got confused and couldn’t understand the schedules and stuff. The commuter trains were a lot easier.
My point is that there needs to be a better way to get home than driving drunk. There are always cabs and friends to call, though, and Fox should have known way better.
