[Docker_Brat]

If you ever think about putting a key in the ignition after a few drinks:

I did cry. Unbelievable. Perhaps it could be made into a TV commercial, although I'm sure there's thousands of other similar stories.

It has been. I believe the ad is her holding the before photo and then putting it down to show the results.

I'm not even going to visit that site, I have a weak stomach.

But I feel bad that 10 years ago & more, it was commonplace to drive home drunk, it was the norm, how the hell did we survive, maybe less traffic limited the carnage that could have been.

If I am going out drinking nowadays, I take taxis or public transport, or if going to friends, I have a mattress in the back of my car & spend the night there, there is NO excuse for drink driving these days.

my god...

being a relatively new driver, and an even newer legal drinker, i can't imagine driving after drinking - when i go out with friends i'm either the DD and everyone buys me soft drinks for the night since i'm driving people around, or i get a lift or my parents just have to pick me up from the bus stop - knowing how i can be after even just one or 2 weak drinks, the thought of controlling a car or attempting to control it is just a frightening thought! there is always an alternative to driving drunk or getting in a car being driven by some one who is...

Wow how sad is that.It makes you think, even though you no you wont drive when you have had a few to drink, their could be someone driving in the car next to that is drunk, and thats the scary thing.Your life could be gone in 2 seconds.

The drink-driver didn't appear to have suffered any injuries.

That was quite frightening.

Yeh that is pretty scary. ****ing ****ers on the roads, there's way too many of them.

Drunk drivers are obviously the worse, but tailgaters are far more common and just as dangerous. I really hate them. Usually just tap the brake or put the windscreen washers on. No matter what sppen u do they still tailgate.

If you ever have any doubts about drinkings effect on driving, just do a little experiement:

Take one of your favorite racing car games on PC/PS2/Xbox and play it, then while playing, drink a few beers.

I notice that by the second stubbie, my times are shocking, and can barely make it around the track without crashing, yet I dont really feel drunk at all.

but there will still people who will drnk and drive.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Drink drivers are the most selfish and stupid people ever. I have absolutely no respect for them! Likewise for the idiots who accept a ride from someone who has been drinking. How much does it cost to get a taxi? The price you paid for a couple of drinks or so?

 

[BluesBabe666]

God i feel sick. I am never going to complain again.
I'd rather be dead.

[Port1978]

That's just shocking!

 

[evade28]

yeh, happens all too often.

 

[Gasometer]

That image should be on coasters in clubs...before on one side, the after on the other.

Truly tragic.

[BomberGal]

That...is horrible....

I couldn't even believe that was a person...
