Probably using drugs. Why anyone would do that even before fentanyl is a mystery.

Well im glad that you dont drive drunk anymore.

When i was 17 i lost both my parents, 2 brothers, and my little sister to a drunk driver. That one night that someone decided to drive drunk changed my whole life.

I don't like to talk about it. I've had years of therapy and still have nightmares.

But if by telling my story saves one life then it's worth it.

@lissah Sadly my experience with drunk drivers drivers is the same. So sorry you have to deal wit the aftermath.

I got a niece, she was taken out at age 17 by a drunk driver, hit her head on killer her!

Possibly.... Getting away with it the first time and repeating it...
I’m the same. If I go drinking I go on a bus or in a taxi. The car keys stay home.

@AdmiralPrune it's an important rule to follow if I know I'm drinking I'm not driving the rest of the day. I won't drive somewhere I know I'll probably have a drink

I did it once when I was young and that single experience made me never do it again. I made it home safely, but I hated the feeling.

@samueltyler2 I have no idea how many drinks impact my ability to drive, so I take the safe route and refuse to drink any alcohol if I will be driving.
Openmyeyes · 26-30, FNew
@exexec that's what I do now
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@exexec probably the safest approach. I know that one drink per hour will not cause me to lose control, it is simple math and metabolism. One standard drink, 1 ounce distiled alcohol, 5 ounces of wine or 12 onces of US beer contain enough ethanol to produce a blood alcohol content of about 20 mg/dl in a 70 kg adult male, and the average such male metabolizes about that in an hour.
I had to blow the breathalyzer once, They could have charged me, I blew .088 and .078, they let me go. I've never driven after drinking since.
Openmyeyes · 26-30, FNew
@Hinckley it's good they let you go. Mine was quite a bit higher than it should have been and after the arrest I never drive drunk again but would still drive after drinking and was a bit over the limit one night and got a second one and after that I won't ever drive if I know I'm drinking
@Openmyeyes I'm glad of that!

People don't realize how life changing one bad decision can be . When i was 4 years old our car got hit be a dump truck i have no memory of the crash or anything before it ,all i know is what I've been told . They said the car was basically cut in half i was in a car seat in the back my parents were in the front and didn't survive. I got head injuries that still affect me today.The truck driver was drunk and went to prison, don't know for how long .I ended up in foster care hell for 14 years all because some idiot decided to drink and drive

In 1969 my father was killed by a drunk driver.
I was nine.
My family was forever changed.
Driving drunk is, each time, attempted murder.
Openmyeyes · 26-30, FNew
@Carla I'm so sorry and fully agree

I can only tell you from experience live and learn,i was a slow learner,but when it really counted i opened my eyes. :)
Openmyeyes · 26-30, FNew
@Ramrod that's a great response
TexChik · F
Honestly the law is too lenient on drunk drivers .

A public flogging would be a good start
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
People should treat sleep deprivation the same way. A person who is at high risk of falling asleep while driving is as dangerous as a drunk one, unfortunately there is no way to measure it.
Openmyeyes · 26-30, FNew
@CrazyMusicLover I was always told it was just as dangerous and your reaction time is as bad
Popobandar4 · 26-30, M
Sounds like you are making adulthood decisions 😂
GoFish ·
there are more stupid things but it is bad and deadly to others usually
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
Good they enforce DUI laws somewhere. It seems DUI and laws requiring insurance are suggestions here. Always assume other drivers are drunk, armed and uninsured.
Openmyeyes · 26-30, FNew
@Crazywaterspring I've heard it is basically a civil issue in some states in Tennessee the first time is a minimum of 48 hours to seven days in jail. Second time is 45 days and I think 3rd is like a year or something. Even if it's your first time you lose your license for a year and have community service and probation after the jail time
