Peter Buckley was arrested by police who "allegedly found him asleep in his tan Cadillac"? Allegedly? What is the charge? Being asleep in his tan Cadillac? I have no objection whatsoever to arresting drunk drivers, but if you arrest someone sleeping in his car, intoxicated, then you encourage drunk drivers to try to make it home drunk. So if someone is driving intoxicated, and realizes he can't go on, he will (given knowledge of how the law works) either get out of the car and sleep in a remote ditch or try to drive drunk. He will almost certainly elect to drive drunk. This is an unintended consequence of a well intentioned legal action.

The Patch's blurp is a little vague...the intersection of Park and York has a stop sign and railroad crossing gates, maybe he stopped and fell asleep in the middle of the road, which in that case he should be arrested, or if he was asleep in a parking spot then I agree, maybe a cab ride home would be in order. But the police can not arrest someone for DUI just for sleeping in their car, there has to be more to it or they open themselves up to a civil lawsuit for false arrest. Probably "allegedly" fell asleep, he was probably "passed" out, big difference between falling asleep and passing out.

He was asleep in his car after stopping on York at Park Avenue in the right turn lane. He drove to that spot my man.

I agree with you but I don't know if we as just citizen's can do anything to stop that practice. IRead More wish that each cyclist had to have a license, and that it was enforced by laws and police, on the bike so that people could report occurrences and have the person receive a ticket just like a person driving an auto. That would make sense.

A couple of years ago, Villa Park installed "State Law- must stop for pedestrians" signsRead More on the roadways where the Great Western and Prairie Paths cross. I saw a big increase in path users barreling across the streets with no regard for the stop signs on the path.

I was really hoping that the Elmhurst Police would sound in on this info-I do understand kids willRead More be kids, but if one of them is hurt, that adult driver will need to live with that for the rest of their life-so let's come up with a solution for both bicyclist and cars to be in harmony. I really think that a step up in enforcement in the bicycle laws would help-just like the drunk driving laws-believe me the bicycle laws are just as important.
