also to all of you posting daniels past run ins is not NECESSARY!!!!what he did in the past is in the past for a reason...he paid his debt why cant people just leave him alone...so all im asking now is for you people to either pray for his recovery if not for him...please for his little 3 yr old that misses him dearly...

ok im so sick of people degrading daniel... hes a great guy i have known him for a few years...yes what he did is wrong, but hes paying the ultimate sacrafice right know by fighting for his life...and the reason why his family and friends arent posting stuff and sticking up for him is because the family didnt want his condition to get out to the public...and they are all by his side hopeing and praying to god for him to wake up...im so sick of people putting him down...yeah i know what he did was wrong, but hes fighting for his life now, and he has a beautiful little girl that is waiting for him to get better because she misses her daddy...you guys dont know how hard it is to tell a little 3 yr old that she cant see her daddy right know because hes so sick...and to see her cry because she misses her daddy so much...how do you explain stuff to her...all i can say is thank god shes not old enough to read some of your postings on here...because if she was not only would she have her daddy on her mind hoping and praying for him to get better, but she would also have to defend all of the rude comments you guys are saying...all i have left to say is if you cant say something nice then please dont say anything, he didnt hurt anyone and i know he will learn his lesson...right know all the famiy needs is everyones prayers and thoughts for him to recover...if you cant do that then please keep your rude comments to yourself!!

yeah it is amazing that with all the people who have posted that were so close to being hit by mr white. he is a piece of something. i have not seen any of his family defend him on here so that says a lot as well. with his history i doubt he has learned his lesson. i hope no one ends up in his future path of destruction

My daughter and my 3 grandchildren are just blocks from where he wrecked. My daughter just had hip surgery. Had he come through a front window, she would be dead.

I have no pity, and only loathing for this jerk. I'm so thankful he only nearly killed himself. Maybe he'll be permanently maimed enough, he won't be CAPABLE of ever driving again! Now THAT would be justice!!!

To all those that defend this guy, saying that "if it was YOUR family, you'd act different", um sorry, no.

My sister killed herself drunk driving. Thank God she didn't take anyone else with her. My entire family was angry at me for voicing my opinion about it. I told them that it was that luck she didn't kill anyone else that will allow her daughters to be able to continue living in their nice house, etc. Otherwise, there may have been a judgment against the estate.
Not to mention the girls would grow up knowing their mother was a murderer.

What I meant to add:

It does not cover your aunt's, brother's, dad's, grandma's, etc., or anybody else's car "that you may drive".

If you have vehicle insurance coverage, it is only for the vehicle listed on your insurance card. (Insurance cards have specific vehicle information on it such as VIN, make, model, year). It does not cover your aunt's, brother's, dad's, grandma's, etc., or anybody else's car. The only exception being a rental while your vehicle is being repair if you have such a clause.

I understand the point that those are trying to make about us not attacking someone that doesn't have a chance to defend himself. And I would totally agree with you if it weren't for the fact that THE FACTS of the CRIME are just that FACTS. There is a man in the hospital due to self inflicted injuries from the stupidity of driving while intoxicated. Therefore, the judgement is warranted....on his crime, not his character. I don't agree with demising a person for their choices, but I do agree with punishing a person for their crimes to hopefully prevent the crime in the future. The history of this Mr. White shows that not ENOUGH judgement has been placed on his prior crimes, so this time, I feel people are truly hoping that there is, because luck runs out after a while, and Mr. White will eventually hurt someone else PHYSICALLY (not emotionally, and that is what hurt his friends and family are going through....those of you who state that others have been hurt...yes, but not physically...). So, yes, we should have compassion for Mr. White as a human being, but there is no compassion for his decisions or crimes in my heart. None. But there is hope in my heart that he will finally get the appropriate punishment to get him up off of the bottom.

agreed hannah because he obviously does not care because he keeps doing the same things and all he gets is a slap on the wrist this time he needs to actually get a punishment other than he hurt himself

exactly hannah that was what i was looking at too, amazing, i would like to say life lesson learned for this guy but i am pretty sure it won't be

Please do not go by what I am telling you always check with your agent. Have a great weekend all

Again, you have to read the small print on your policy but your insurance may cover his or her car in damages but if someone gets hurt well that opens another can of worms. You can call your agent and ask if you are insured but again if illegal activity then probably not if it is something small in damages more then likely your insurance will cover you.

maybe you should call your insurance company and make sure you know exactly what you are paying for

honestly i don't really care if mr white owns a car or not he needs to not be driving it

You would have to ask your insurance agent as all policies are different and without reading yours I would have to say if another person is driving your car, he or she must be insured under your policy. If they do not have insurance then your insurance may not pay. Now keep in mind you can add a person on your policy say for a week, day or month. So if I wanted to lend my car to my brother to go to Florida I can insure him for as long as he is using my car. As for work that should also fall under your employers auto/comp insurance. Now keep in mind you can fight all of this but you may not win.

i am sure a car lot can not finance a person without a drivers license that is why i was saying that they can go to a used dealership and buy a car with cash and have no problems

Hannah, if you allow someone to drive your car occasionally and they have auto insurance their insurance is primary yours is secondary. However, keep in mind if the person driving your car is driving illegally then neither insurance company will want to pay. The primary will say it is your fault for allowing someone to drive your car and your insurance company will do the same. They will fight on who is primary or secondary you really need to ask your agent and please do. Insurance companies look out for themselves, this also applies to any accidental death policy you have. If you are a passenger in a car and say the person is drunk or even speeding and you die your accidental/ disability insurance may not pay so ask the questions you may pay for insurance you cannot use.

you can buy vehicles with cash at any used car lot as long as you are not being financed i don't think they care whether or not you have a license even if it is illegal.

I can agree with your scenerio with an adult child, 18 and older, being responsible for having their own vehicle in their own name especially if they are in another area and are the only ones driving the vehicle. I didn't say that I agreed with the information that I googled... it is out there though.

I guess I have to question the... what did you call it... STRAW purchace?. I and my husband own four vehicles and a boat. All are in my name even though I am only the primary driver on two. I don't think that I've ever even been behind the wheel of the other two. We put them in my name for a specific reason that has nothing to do with insurance. I am not in the business so I am ignorant when it comes to those rules, but as far as I was told there is nothing wrong with doing things that way. Does it make a difference in a husband/wife (or significant other) type relationship?

hannah, thank you for this information as I said before I personally would not be without insurance not just to protect myself but anyone I may hurt. I have told my children no matter what you do always have insurance even if you have to cut back on food, cloths or toys always cover yourself. I know if we make it mandatory premiums will go up I worked in insurance and know how that works. However, I want to be protected also from someone who is not allowed to drive or who doesn’t have insurance. I guess I can only take care of me and mine.

Thisisme, I too get mad when people judge others for their mistakes or choices (better put that in or else) I was not defending nor judging him. I just do not understand why you can buy a car and not have to have a license. If you are revoked due to multiple violations should you not lose your car, now of course if it is the only car and you have a family then that would not apply. I am sure that comment will come back to haunt me. However, I do not make the laws and I have not lived in his shoes I have learned something new today thank you

thisisme- I would love to hear this clown defend himself. It would be quite comical actually. I'd love to hear his reasoning for 24 different charges. He lost his right to defend himself a long time ago. Let the bashing continue.

well said hannah. it was very rude of him to risk everyone's lives around him while driving all crazy. it was lucky that a tree was the only thing that was hit. or i am sure the comments would be a lot worse then what they are right now. as far as him defending himself i think he pretty much said screw everyone when he endangered people on the roads

... and actually I don't know this person from Adam, it just pisses me off when people get bashed when they can't defend themselves. It's not up to all of us to judge him. He'll have his day.

That is enough information Latinmami. I am not out to knock anyone's opinions, I just feel that these opinions should be substantiated. Thank you for backing your that information up so as to prove that it is not just idle gossip.

Marinab- I actually didn't say ur quesiton was stupid, as there is no stupid question. If you are a cash buyer, and you want to register the vehicle in someone else’s name (someone that has a valid driver’s license) then you can buy a car. Or if you are a cash buyer and you want to go buy a car from a private party. You also don't need a license to register a vehicle, but in states that require insurance you need a license to get the insurance and the insurance to register the vehicle. (This is information that I found just doing some basic google research so it may be different from state to state)

Thisisme, you still did not answer the question can you buy a car without a license if you had read other comments you would know I was referring to others who are pulled over without a valid driver’s license, he was busted without a valid driver’s license or if you are revoked you still can drive? And apparently not his first time. I asked the question so this makes me stupid. I hope you kids out there take notice it is ok to ask a question that doesn’t make you stupid. Sound’s like he is a friend of yours, I hope he gets help I just want to know why you can buy a car without a valid driver’s license. Seems to me you should prove you are eligible to drive. RELAX I did not slam him I just want to know.

go look on the wisconsin circuit court access he has a total of 24 charges in there majority driving offenses which include operating after revocation operating without a license operating while intoxicated and there are repeat offenses in there. is that enough information for you?

"...before he got into a car without a license AGAIN drunk AGAIN"
Please provide where in the article (or provide a link that shows) that he had previously driven after revocation and that he had previously driven drunk. Is that the reason that he lost his license in the first place? Inquiring minds would like to know.

oh and another thing most of us choose not to do such stupid things so we won't be in the paper.

Yea i think mr white should of thought about the whole picture before he got into a car without a license AGAIN drunk AGAIN and raced through traffic like a maniac with a death mission. nothing on here that is being said is stupid what it stupid is what mr white did all on his own if he would not of done that we would have nothing to comment about so all his own fault he made his bed now he will be lying in it

Boy, I sure hope you're not the tree next time he does this.

One more thing... Marinab- He got ticketed for driving after revocation. This means that he once had his license and got it taken away for one reason or another. Do some research and I'm sure you figure out when and for what reason. Does that answer your question about the car? He's got a family, maybe... just maybe he has/had a good job and quite possibly have had the car for a long time or maybe just got it a few months ago... get the whole picture before you start making stupid comments.

OK---- The only thing that I have to ask is... does ANYONE know how long or for what reason he did not have his drivers license? Ya'll are condemning him and damning him to hell for a lifetime... I understand the consequences for driving while intoxicated and driving without a license. Ya'll are just as mean and nasty as the bullies in school. He will pay for his mistakes, of that I'm sure. 1st offence for intoxicated driving is a couple fines and requirement of AODA. He's most likely not going to Jail because he didn't hurt anyone but himself and the tree. Why do we want to put someone in jail for driving without a license when there should be room left open for people like Norbert Cantu?
Just a though for y'all... judge not lest ye be judged in return. Just wait... you'll be in the paper someday for something stupid that you did and you'll have to go through and read all the mean things that people who don't even know you say... Think about how that will make you feel!

maybe he got it through a private deal or a buy here pay here place

I have a stupid question maybe someone could answer for me, how can you buy a car without a driver’s license? I mean really can you buy a car without a drivers license. This may not apply to Mr. White as he may have had the car or used someone else’s but I guess I am Intellectually Challenged because I do not get how you can get a vehicle without a drivers license. Anyone got an answer for me?

um sarahb what did your granny do to you?

gmaof3~ I think I came up with the politically correct phrase you are seeking- Stupid people are now to be refered to as the "Intelectually Challenged"! But if you choose to use the former term thats OK as chances are they won't know who your refering to anyway.......

It would be a good thing if this creature was done driving forever Look at his record, he is on the track to kill someone with his behavior.

I used to think my grandma was stupid sometimes.

SORRY...but I need to add one more thing...:) I want to clarify that I don't consider this man nor my brother or anyone else who commits these crimes a bad "person", I just want to make it clear that I believe that until they believe that they are better then the choices they make, and mean something to someone and can be a contiribution to something, there isn't a thing any one of us can do to convince them of their worth. It is noble of some of you to come to his defense as a human being, and bark at the ones who are stating the obvious, but as far as reality, the reality is, these people who make these stupid "what were you thinking" choices, can only save themselves.

Also, as much as many of us want to slap a "Christian" sticker on him, and declare him saved from his destructive ways, we can't do that until he is remorseful. And until he is, his destiny will continue on the same race track to nowhere.

Mr. White needs to get it together. Unfortunately, I don't have much faith this will do it. I am praying it will, but from past experience, I have a brother who had MANY priors and is now living with brain damage because he chose to drive WITHOUT a license AND DRUNK and hit a tree as well, and still continues to try and drive (without a license),continues to be a frequent flier at the Rock County Big House, continues to use drugs, continues to steal to buy his drugs because he can't/doesn't want to work and continues to slowly kill my mother's spirit . (although my mom is an enabler, and I don't agree with her, I don't judge her because I have never been in her situation, and it isn't my job to judge her anyway.) First and foremost, the best prediction of future behavior is past behavior, and especially where addicts are concerned, walking the talk is the only way to show change.

mr white has 24 charges of which majority of them are for operating vehicle while suspended, after revocation and while intoxicated. you sure would think that maybe after the 2nd or 3rd he would of stopped but he hasnt and i am sure if he walks out of this okay he will do it again.

well said about most of the incidents gma. i don't think it is rude what is being said about mr white's accident. what was rude is that he got into a car without a license and drunk and risked the lives of all the people he drove around. thank god he was the only was who had to suffer from his stupidity. i am sure the family does not like what is being said but maybe after some of them read this they will kick their son or baby daddy in the butt and help him to not do this sort of thing again. it was stated before he had a child is that child not worth for him to be a safe sober licensed driver? someone should ask him that when he is able to comphrehend something other than stupid

I'm sick of people telling others how rude they are! Sorry, STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES and some people are just plain STUPID!!!

Mr. White is stupid, the kid who blew the stop sign and hit the cyclists is stupid! The teacher that got herself in that mess with heroin is stupid.

Does anyone have a "politically correct" description of stupid without sounding like a bleeding heart???

The tree wanted a hug

i hope they do not disable this before mr white gets to read these comments maybe it will hit home for him and open his eyes a little wider since he has been driving with them shut for so long

localboy guess we were typing at the same time well said lol

if this was my family member or friend i sure would of kicked them in the butt the first fifty times they got behind the wheel with out a license and drunk. where were his friends and family before he got into that vehicle like a bat out of hell flying down the streets of janesville? so i guess i don't really feel all that bad at all and if anyone else feels bad that i don't that's okay by me i won't take it personally :)

If Mr. White was one of my family members or friends, I would give him a swift kick in the butt first off. Then I would make sure if he ever maimed the family name again, his next encounter with me would be stiffer then a boot in the butt. If he was my friend and continued to act like an idiot, he would be one friend less.

yes mr. white is wrong and very lucky he didnt hurt anyone besides himself. but he did all of his family members and friends. and as far as all the nasty comments you wouldnt think it was so funny and making all these nasty remarks, if this were your family member or friend. so think about it.some of you on here making rude comments are probably in the medical proffession,you should be ashamed of yourself. an talk about a site that should be diabled, this should be it.

i wonder if mr white is a legal citizen lol lol lol lol lol that is funny

Also for the record I was trying to use the race card my stepfather is Mexican who I love and respect. I am saying again if no valid license then maybe not legal to be here.

all of that i totally agree with and i am sorry to hear about your cousin i just did not agree with this being a race thing at all, especially since no one knows what mr white's race is. People who do not have a license as adults is for a reason and they should have the respect and common sense to stay off the streets especially while driving intoxicate. My co-worker lost his 17yr old daughter to a 43 yr old man who had no license was drunk was high no insurance who in by the way was white. so i guess the point i want to make is no matter what the race or age or whatever else IF YOU HAVE NO LICENSE AND OR ARE DRUNK STAY OFF THE FREAKIN STREETS YOU ARE RUINING PEOPLES LIVES INCLUDING YOUR OWN

I agree he was stupid I am saying shouldn’t there be stiffer laws if you do not have a valid driver's license. Is this a privilege, not a right? I just get angry of all the people out there with no insurance and valid drivers license I do not want to get into an accident with out insurance I could not help someone with out the insurance. My cousin was hit by a drunk driver with no insurance my cousin is paralyzed from the neck down and it hurt his family financially along with emotionally.

well i think mr white has proved you don't have to be latino to be driving with no license no insurance and drunk, i don't think this incident has to do with a specific race it has to do with stupidity.

Sarab, Is it not a waste of taxpayer money for him or anyone to drive without a license. Who is going to pay for the legal fees, hospital bills, higher insurance premiums, what I am saying if you drive without a valid drivers license and get into an accident who pays we do.

It has to do with are the legal do they have insurance anyone who drives and has a license should have to show this to get insurance and I knew as soon as I hit post comment it would come back to bite me. As I have stated before no one accepts an opinion always criticizing every one who doesn’t agree with all of you.

and by the way marinb this is not his first or even second or even 3rd offense of driving without a license, and i am not sure what the race thing has to do with driving without a license i don't think they even mentioned mr whites race in here i do know what it is but i am not going to play the race card on it because stupid comes in every color

I am not trying to sound prejudice however most are of Spanish/Mexican decent
*********************************
what in the world does this have to do with anything?

marinab: To jail someone for not having a valid driver's license seems like a waste of taxpayer money to me.

Latinmami2, you stated do not drive if you do not have a valid drivers license have you read the police reports? At least every day some one is in the paper no valid driver’s license now I am not trying to sound prejudice however most are of Spanish/Mexican decent what happens to them. I will bet this person will go to jail but do you see in the court cases any of the others going to jail? Explain that one please someone.

i agree i don't think any of us are being harsh and maybe and hopefully he will take this as his wake up call, he is soooooo young to be driving around with no licence and drinking like he is on a suicide mission. thank god he did not hit an innocent person that is the best thing about this story.

More often than not it is an innocent person that dies while the drunk lives. That is the reason we are all being so harsh to Mr. White. It easily could have been someone else that he killed and that was just luck. Maybe someone should make him read these blogs when he is well enough to read. Maybe then it will stick.

To all of you defending him: What would you be saying if he had injured/killed one of your family members rather than just hitting a tree?

He deserves all that comes out of this, it was a choice he made and that choice has consequences. Let's just hope that he learns from this.

By the way, our comments on here are not "bullying" Mr. White. Anybody who DECIDES to hurl himself into a tree- drunk, can take some constructive criticism.

This boy should be put away for a long time with extensive counseling. He is lucky he is not facing murder charges. I have to agree with most of you on here, I don't feel any sympathy for this man, because obviously, he has been dealing with these same issues for some time, and hasn't taken the need for change seriously, so that tree was his intervention, and hopefully it works. If not, I am afraid we will either be see his name in the obituary, or his victim's name in the near future.

Defending this kid= ENABLING. I'm sorry, but this state has a serious alcohol problem and the best way to change that is to make drinking and driving something that is HARSHLY JUDGED by everyone. Let's put more positive peer pressure on people so that this type of behavior is not considered a "poor choice" but something that will NOT be tolerated. The fact that he only hurt himself is simply due to luck. He could have easily killed someone. If you wait until a drunk kills someone before you judge them, we'll have a lot more dead children and dead innocent people. If your family member or friend has drinking problem then do an intervention and get help for them before they hurt themselves or others.

is the tree going to make it?

Cruelty and nastiness aside, stories like this need to reach everyone. Actions have real consequences.

Wait Wait Wait, I MISSED that!!! I apologize! BUT regardless he didn't hurt anyone, and the lesson will be his own!!!! There is still NO reason or justification for you all to be so NASTY and CRUEL!!!

schnckstac1 - I don't know why you had to bring teachers into this...what's next GM workers. Actually, I hope you don't have kids that you are teaching to read for understanding!

schnckstac1 - you are kidding right? Shame on us?? Nice perspective. You are jamming us for our comments about Mr. White, but you don't acknowledge what an idiot he was and has been. You are busting the wrong people. Your focus should be on him, not us. We are the ones free, sober, and not in the Hospital after doing something stupid, so that gives us the right to comment on his situation.

White was cited for operating while intoxicated and operating after revocation, according to the police report.
***************************************
yep i think this says operating while intoxicated so shame on mr white for being so wreckless and endangering all people around him and risking losing his own life and leaving a child and family behind. shame on mr white for having so many previous driving violations and still getting behind the wheel yet again. i am sorry he is in the hospital but i am not sorry for anything that is being said on here because i personally think that if he has not learned his lesson by the multiple times he has already been in trouble then he is just a walking time bomb that is going to hurt someone really bad and not just himself. STAY OFF THE STREETS MR WHITE DO NOT DRIVE ANYMORE TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILD INSTEAD OF GETTING DRUNKING AND TRYING TO KILL INOCENT PEOPLE

"The article said NOTHING about drinking!!!"

Uuhh, you're kidding, right? From the article:
"White was cited for operating while intoxicated and operating after revocation, according to the police report."

I really hope none of you that are being so judgemental are teaching in our schools!!! We sit back and get mad at the bullies at school and how nasty and mean kids can be......well HERE's your ANSWER why!!!! We are their example!!! This is what we teach them?! You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves!!! The article said NOTHING about drinking!!! He didn't hurt anyone but HIMSELF!! I will pray for him and his family!!!

(I didn't know we had spelling police on here??LOL!)

The CAR
HE was DRIVING (?)
Hit a tree!
Oh yes it did!
Bad Car!! Bad Car!!

or maybe he just thought hey the speedometer says 120 mph maybe i should try it DUH slow it down a little

Who put a tree there???

LOL that is funny mikki

My thoughts and prayers are with the poor, innocent tree.

And the court system will be judging him and quite harshly I hope.
((*********************
honestly they should of done that already with his history

I know a guy named Moran who's a moron. He once bit a guy in a fight.

Just because he has a kid and a family who loves him, does not give him the right to risk the lives of others with his "poor choices"! When someone risks the lives of those around them, we have every right to judge them! And the court system will be judging him and quite harshly I hope.

No a little mistake is running a stop sign which everyone does, a BIG mistake/crime is driving with no license while drunk at high speeds swerving in and out of traffic

I wonder if he went through the HUGE puddle in the right lane. I was going the speed limit, and with the street light reflection on the street, you couldn't see the flooding. It almost made me go off the road. I'm not sure if that puddle was near Somerset though.

Aw c'mon latinmami2 he just made a little MISTAKE

well i would think that since he has a family that does love him and a child to take care of then he would be a little smarter than to be driving crazy without a license while drunk. if you don't like the comments then don't read them. he made a poor decision that could of cost him his life and then what would his child be left with no father maybe he will think of that next time he decides to drive without a license again

Ok people....the fact of the matter is this...someone is suffering besides the injured person. All of your snide remarks and "I'm better than him" attitudes don't really make you any better. He has a family, which includes a child, who happens to love him unconditionally. We all make poor choices. Some more than others and some less. I think its a sad day when anyone is suffering such extreme injuries and all you can do is judge. I only hope someone in your own families never make a choice that leads to the opening of a door for others to have the opportunity to have a bash fest. I hope he pulls through this horrible nightmare and betters himself because of it. You have the right to voice an opinion, but that's really all it is,...an opinion. Be grateful someone you love isn't in his place. No one is perfect. I will pray for him and his family and friends.

I agree with you horselvngirl. It is his own fault he is in the hospital, which it is lucky for everyone else that they did not get hit by him driving so carelessly, and he obviously does not give a dang whether or not he even has a license to be on the road in the first place. he has been in and out of court for this same thing so many times he should not even be on the streets he is a danger to people and himself since he can't even seem to decide whether or not it is right or wrong to be driving without a license and drunk and driving crazy

baby_serenity05:"that was a rude comment...you have to think before you comment...this young man is hanging on for his life... i just hope and pray that he makes it."

I honestly do not find it to be a rude comment, but that is just MY opinion.

With his extensive record, and lessons not learned, possibly this will be the deciding factor on whether or not he gets in a vehicle while under the influence again? He shoudn't have been driving in the first place, and driving in and out of his lane, and swerving? He's lucky that he did only hurt himself and not others!

Some people never learn.

ALSO DON'T DRIVE IF YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A LICENSE TO OPERATE A VEHICLE PERIOD

Another drunk driver. At least he didn't hurt anyone else. DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE!

Moran?

Well with this young man's record he should really think before he is out there driving crazy and most of the time driving without a license i guess he never learned his lesson

that was a rude comment...you have to think before you comment...this young man is hanging on for his life... i just hope and pray that he makes it.

Was the weather conditions sufficient for safe driving? Maybe he encountered a "White out".
