'Tis the season and you can bet your sweet ass I am drinking. You can also bet your sweet ass I won’t be driving. Please don’t become a statistic tonight. Here are some of my loved ones who might be in a drunk driver’s path tonight:
My mom and dad
My oldest sister with my nephew
My youngest sister with my niece
I bet you have one or more of these people in your life who could be on the road tonight. Don’t put their lives at risk.
12 years ago I nearly lost my SO then GF to a drunk driver. It was 4ish in the afternoon on a thursday and this drunk lady just swerved across the road into Lady RW’s Toyota.
Lady RW suffered a broken femur and was in the hospital for two weeks and on crutches for 2 months. Seat belf saved her life.
Drunk lady got a split lip, that was all. But she was in the ER next to my GF when the put the pins in her leg to straighten it. GF screemed blue murder.
Still, drunk lady got off easy.
Actually She was 5 minuites ahead of me in her Toyota and I arrived on the scene after it all happened. Had the lady hit my Chevy Caprice, there may have been less injury.
Still, you have a point drunk lady would have killed a pedestrian.
I know a guy that was driving drunk and killed a motorcyclist. He spent three and a a half years in prison. He was only in there that long because the motorcyclist had ran a stop sign. He could have spent 20 or more if that hadn’t happened. He cleaned up, last I heard.
I intend to have a few drinks on my 21st. I will be doing it at home before I go to sleep. Please don’t drive drunk.
