    I failed a sobriety test once - I believe I got off on a technicality, as I wasn't operating a motor vehicle at the time. I was trying to put gas in my car, but the pumps were [apparently] closed. It would give me $.03 of gas and switch off. Just then 2 cops pulled up and started questioning me. They asked me where I lived, which happened to only be a block away from the gas station. The cop must have been in a good mood, because after I failed the horizontal nystagmus test [the eye tracking test] she asked for my keys, pulled the car over to a parking space and told me to walk home and pick it up in the morning. The thought of what could have happened has stuck with me, I no longer drive if I've had more than 2-3 drinks in an evening.
