Dennis Quaid is spotted at Phillip Chow restaurant on October 21, 2009 in Beverly Hills, California FilmMagicAccess Hollywood
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Dennis Quaid had a close call Wednesday night after a night out - just as he was about to drive off, police urged the actor not to drive - and he listened.
After attending the premiere of "One Peace At A Time," Dennis, wife Kimberly and a friend left Philippe in West Hollywood, Calif., where he allegedly had too much to drink.
According to TMZ and Radar Online, Dennis got behind the wheel of the car when a police car pulled up alongside side the actor's car and urged the 55-year-old actor to not drive.
According to TMZ, police repeatedly told the actor, "Get out of the car."

He reportedly responded to the officer, asking, "What do you want me to do?"
The actor, his wife and friend then reportedly went back inside the restaurant and emerged a short time later to a waiting taxicab.
The waiting paparazzi reportedly screamed, "You don't want a DUI. You don't want to end up like Mel Gibson."

Don RI wonder how many times he has been driving drunk? It sounds like a habitual thing and he only opted this time not to drive because he knew he would be arrested if he did not heed the cops advice! Someone with money like he has can hire a driver to take him anywhere without him taking the chance of killing someone's kid while he is behind the wheel drunk. GEE what a caring guy......NOTreport abuseposted October 22, 2009 9:29 PM PDT

Don RI see someone posted about him having "GOOD JUDGEMENT" WTF??? He had climbed in the car intending to drive while intoxicated? He knew he would go to jail if he drove in front of the Cops. They should had arrested the Dolt anyway and charged him! That is like saying someone is using "Good Judgement" not Knocking off a Liquor store because two cops are standreport abuseposted October 22, 2009 9:25 PM PDT

Don RHe was DUI! If he was behind the wheel under the infulence , he HAD the intention of driving. Being behind the wheel of a Motor Vehicle and intoxicated driving or not is the same. Drivers are arrested all the time parked in parking lots and on the side of the Highway drunk behind the wheel. He was given "Special Treatement" by the Police. He should had been arrested!report abuseposted October 22, 2009 9:21 PM PDT
