The Deadliest Days for Car Crashes

What an idiot you are! DIDN'T you READ what Olivialipps WROTE! Sure I enjoy a drink, but I STAY OFF THE ROADS if I have been drinking! SO you DO THE SAME or at least POST A BIG BRIGHT COLOR SIGN on your car telling other drivers that you are an "IDIOT because you are drinking DRUNK" That way we can STAY out of your WAY.

Could the rest be cell phone use related?

It's to easy to get off - we need better laws. I do believe ********* hard to pass laws and punish drivers under the influence due to "there by the grace of God, go I". My husband ******* by a drunk driver and lost his leg - got hep c from blood transfusions - ended up with liver failure and needed a liver (thankfully, he rec'd it). The drunk who hit him ? No big deal for him - his insurance paid $20,000 for the medical costs and motorcycle...that's it. My husband was in ICU for a month so the $20,000 was a drop in the bucket. Good thing he was a responsible person and had insurance-both medical and auto. It was 1980 and he was only 23 yrs. old. The loser drunk had / has nothing so no attorney would take the case to go after him. This idiot paid a fine of $150 and $25 court costs. And to make matters worse - he gets arrested on a regular basis and has hurt others since then. BUT he keeps getting off. So many years later and he hangs on street corners - drinks and does drugs. He drives if he hasn't wrecked his vehicle. If he has a vehicle, he drives - doesn't care if he has a license or not. He has no remorse. He spent less than a day in jail and that was 8 yrs. ago for seriously injuring a woman when he hit her vehicle. REMEMBER THIS: Researchers estimate that there is just one drunken-driving arrest for every 80 to 300 trips taken by drunken drivers. PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE. My husband is limited - had to close his business - hep c is a virus so it's back and just a matter of time before he is very sick again - we pay more for health and life insurance for him - we pay $10,000 co-pay every few years for a new prosthetic - expensive meds due to the liver transplant so he doesn't reject it - and so on. He worked very hard to pay for a house, cars, etc. and we have good retirement - for now. Of course, the money has to come from somewhere so we tap into our retirement and other assets. So one full time paycheck along w/ part time phone work to make extra money. I had to work from home to care for my husband for two yrs. prior to his transplant. Good thing I was able too. My husband does what he can ******** hard when you are very tired from the hep c (counting our blessings at this point). Thank you for reading this. I try to be honest and raise awareness because if I could save one person and his family and friends from have to go through so much due to another's stupid choice, it is worth it. We are actively involved in many ways with our community.

So less than half the deaths were alcohol related? How many of those were just an accident that didn't have anything to do with the fact of the accident!! Let me tell you something...An ACCIDENT IS AN ACCIDENT!!! stop this money making scam and quit persecuting someone who has a few drinks!!! DUI laws are BULLCRAP!!! the authorities are only in it for the money!!!! Saving lives is not what DUI's are ********* about ruining lives ....
