Very much agree.....an incident that happened several years ago comes to mind.
A group of us had just left otters in two cars and were driving towards elvitigala on bullers road,
suddenly outta nowhere (presumably ) comes a grand civic that crashes into my friends car in front.
Luckily no major damage to my friends car...the civic got a bit mashed up in front.
But I really can't imagine what the follow in the civic was thinking when he took the wheel
cause he couldn't even sit straight let alone drive.
He just started crying, then apologising.....
We felt bad for the dude and another in our group put mr. drunk in the passenger seat of his own car and we drove
him home....best part was when we got there his wife refused to let him in the house, so we just left him in the car and went off. Sad really..........
I'm very ashamed to say that I once did drive piss drunk.....however I did it at 40kmh for a distance of about 3km from the place the party was at to my home with my wife holding the steering and shouting directions all the way.
There was no excuse...I should have taken a cab that night, and although nothing happened, I still regret it.
My point in this rant is that anyone who insists on driving when they've been drinking too much doesn't deserve to
have a license, it is not only disregard for themselves but also for all other road users.
They are selfish individuals who could care less what happens around them and cause a lifetime of hurt to others.
By drinking I mean about 3-4 drinks upwards, not one bottle of beer or a shot of something.
However if a bottle of beer or even one shot affects you....then don't take the risk.
Sadly with all the accidents still happening, its evident that people seem to turn a blind eye and carry on regardless.
Such a shame.
