Why do drunk drivers speed?

When I’m drunk I lose motor control. Putting your foot down is easier than keeping it held up. The car goes faster when your foot is down.

I'd imagine it's the same reason drunk people make any bad decisions.

Alcohol intoxication leads to poor decision making. Speeding is a byproduct of making poor choices.

Edit: also to save money on gas, to buy more booze.

Alcohol removes the guilt. Everyone truly wants to drive fast as hell.

Yep, I can admit to doing the same things unfortunately in my youth, but yeah I never get it. Anytime I did it, I made sure that I didn’t go faster than the speed limit, didn’t run a red light, come to a complete stop to make a right turn on red, and just follow all the basic traffic laws. shite, sometimes I drove better drunk than sober. When I’m sober, it’s 90+ on the interstate all the way through Baton Rouge, weaving in and out of lanes, and around other vehicles.

If you get home faster it’s less time you’re on the roads for some Bozo to ruin your day.

I drive slower when drunk. Try to keep it level. Always make sure my lights n shut all worn before going out. Never gotten caught, knock on wood.

Plus, there's the added bonus of getting better gas mileage, but I'll have to get MJ2 to fully explain that concept.

Had to scroll down too far for this.
