Thread Name: Drunk Driving
Subject: RE: Drunk Driving
i had a good friend who died in a single car crash
after drinking. It was 3 years ago...I miss her.
Every October I am reminded that another year
has gone by without her. Her children do not
have a mom. At least they were not in the car.
there are warning bumps in the road near the
intersection. I drive past there every time
i go to town. I call them the kathy memorial
bumps.. I sang at her funeral and was pall gearer.
i can only hope that her passing was a hard
lesson which will remind us al to never drive
drunk. I believe there are bars around here
which provide soft drinks free of charge to
designated drivers. and pedi-cab drivers to
escort people home if they are within pedalling
distance from home...I also am a fire fighter,
so get called whenever a car has crashed...
saw a very sad site on a remote mountain road
of a fatal wreck where the passenger, a girl
about my daughters' ages was thrown out.
not only alcohol-related, but if only she had
bucked her belt she might be alive today..so
very sad, such a waste...
