A file passed my desk this morning.

Drunk, dont matter who, dont matter where in the UK.

Head on collision.

Score so far.

Human Cost 1 - Drunk DOA
1 - mother DOA
1 - father still in a coma - believed major brain damage.
2 - children still wondering when thier parents will come home
1 grieving widow
Number unknown - Police, Paramedics, Fire Brigade traumatised, and also off the run for other emergancies
Ditto - Hospital Emergancy rooms and staff.

Financial Estimated cost to insurance company ? ie what it will cost at the end of the day. say £1,700,000.00 say US$ 3,000,000.00 including legal fees. All of which has ultimately to be paid for by other motorists.
God knows what it cost the NHS, the Emergancy Services etc.

And no, this disaster will not be comemorated in song. No posthumous decoration like "John Axon". No "Scotch Lords at his feet". No "Lord Mayor of London's collecting".

Does any IDIOT still think it clever to drink and drive ?
