This is outrageous. I just read this news a DUII driver who hit nine parked cars in SE Portland and drove off. He only stopped when his vehicle was too damaged to continue.

As a truck driver, I take driving very seriously. I know how important it is to be alert and sober behind the wheel. I also know how hard it is to find parking in this city. I can’t imagine how angry and frustrated the owners of those damaged vehicles must be. They probably have to deal with insurance claims, repairs, and lost income.
This is why we need stricter laws and enforcement against impaired driving. It is not a victimless crime. It affects everyone on the road and in the community. We need to hold these drivers accountable and make them pay for the damages they cause.
If you see someone driving erratically or suspiciously, please call 911 and report them. You could save a life. And if you are ever tempted to drive under the influence, please don’t. Find another way to get home safely. There are plenty of options available, such as taxis, rideshare, public transit, or designated drivers.
