Drink driving

Plankton · 01-20-2015, 04:10 PM

A lot of people don't think very clearly, and actually believe they aren't staggering all over the place, slurring their words, etc. when they're really past the point of having any motor skills at all. So they get behind the wheel, and sometimes they dodge the bullet, and sometimes not. It's all pretty much luck at that point.

I was the victim of 2 drunk sailors that slammed into our vehicle doing 60mph when I was in HS. The driver was in critical condition, the person behind me flew out the back window, and I lost consciousness for about a minute, after slamming my head off of the door jam. I had someone watching over me that day.

Can't drive but I never would risk someone else's safety with my destructive behavior. I would not be able to live with myself if I had killed or seriously harmed someone while driving drunk. Still have some stuff on my conscience that haunts me a bit, I can't imagine what kind of guilt that would be like. All that said, and it's redundant to say so again but booze has a funny way of encouraging people to make decisions they wouldn't make sober.

It's easier than walking sometimes. I just can't go down hills or in the street because cars.

I'm fascinated that it's apparently called "drink" driving on the other side of the Atlantic.
