WOW! That's another thing we have in common. My ex also wrapped his car around a hydro (electric) pole once. He had owned the car 3 days! He was charged with careless driving and insurance went sky high (I paid it). He also had to pay to replace the pole! He was in so many car accidents. On more than one occasion he had been drinking (although he often denied it). He was also just a really distracted driver. (Not phone - he loved to peer in people's windows as he drove - creepy!). We split up the day he got a D U I and put the van in a ditch. There was a lot more going on but when he blew 3 times over the legal limit - I had reached my breaking point!
KML - I didn't get that he was an alcoholic from Gineen's post. I got that he drank too much that night. If it happened on a couple of occasions - I'd be inclined to think there was a problem.
