Neil, who was drunk, lost control of the car and hit an oncoming vehicle. The two occupants of the other car were seriously injured and suffered brain damage, and Dingley was killed. Neil was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol in connection with the crash. His blood alcohol level was 0.17, well above the California legal limit at that time of 0.10.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sadly, this was not the only time he was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lvrj.com\/news\/neil-s-show-still-on-despite-dui-arrest-97461434.html\" target=\"_blank\">arrested<\/a> in relation to drunken driving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Perhaps Vince Neil should be calling for more &#8220;car control&#8221; instead of more &#8220;gun control&#8221;?\u00a0 After all, even after killing a friend with his car, he continues to be allowed to drive, yet calls for restrictions on people who have killed no one!
