Drunk Drivers

Okay so I am driving home today and already cranky for who knows what reason what I was on the verge of tears but needed to get home before I could break down in private. So I am six lights from home and stopped so I start to pop in my favorite CD when all of a sudden I get hit from behind. I look in the rear view mirror to see the person who just smacked in to the back of my car. I move to the side of the road so traffic can keep going and then check to make sure my son is ok which he was. I get out and walk over to this guys car and ask for his insurance and he say ok, well come to find out the dumb ass didn't even have any. Then all I can smell is alcohol I ask him if he had been drinking and he looks at me and goes I had one beer. One beer my ass doesn't make you smell like that. So I look at him and I go Thank GOD you did not hurt my child and how dare he get in his car and drive. I look at his friend who was with him and I ask him if he had a drink and he said NO I was about to flip a lid I ask him why wasn't he driving, he had no answer. Now back to this driver he was telling me he would take care of my car if I didn't call the police and I told him that I had to since he didn't have insurance and I needed mine to fix my car. As I know this fool isn't going to pay. SO I call the police and I tell the lady on the phone that he had been drinking and told her what had happened. So while we are waiting for the cop to arrive he tells me he doesn't have a license . Yes that's right he had already lost his license to a DUI not so long ago and decided to drink and get behind the wheel today. Luckily no one was hurt but my poor car and the front of his. Well low and behold the cop shows up minutes later and has him to a drunk test in the field which he fails. So he is arrested and taken in for driving under the influence, Driving under a suspended license, for causing an accident and for not having and insurance. Now the cop turns to me and ask if I think he will pay for the damages and I say no I do not. Come on now there is no way this guy is going to pay. So the cop says that its just a paint transfer and it can be buffed out and its not worth filling out the police report. I was shocked I thought in an accident you had to do one. So here I leave the scene with some crazy guys address and phone number and damage to my car. I was pissed.
What I don't understand in all of this is how the heck is this guy driving and now he will have a second DUI and will just loose his license for a year and do some community service but in the mean time he will still drink and drive. I pray he doesn't ever hurt any one.
I am not saying I am a saint or anything because GOD knows I was in that boat a few years ago. Yes you read that right I got a DUI in 2005. Thankfully I got pulled over before I hurt some one or myself. Yes I was pissed and scared. Yet I dealt with what I had to do to learn another lesson which I should have already known. I lost my license for 90 day and I had a breathing thing put in my car, I also had to pay 2500 dollars for and attorney, who got my charge dropped to negligence after two years, I also have to carry and sr22 for three years, I had to sit in a victims panel, and take an acohol class. Now you would have thought I would have stopped drinking but I didn't. I just stopped going out and became a functioning acoholic. Then one day I got pregnant and stopped and didn't have a drink until after two weeks when I wasn't sure what I was going to do emotionaly. I didn't drink as much just on the weekends after I put my son to sleep, but that only last a while then I was back up to drinking every night and sometimes I would binge drink and be so sick. Well in June my therapist said either I stop drinking or else I would be ordered to go to AA and admit that I had a problem. Well I have been sober two months as of August 8th.
Let me tell you after today I will never touch another drink as Long as I live.
