Drunk Drivers

                                                              




I know this is a very serious topic now a days, but it should be talked about more then it is.
So today I was driving Chris to work (hes my boy friend) and there was this guy driving a pretty good ways ahead of me but he was doing like 30 in a 55. He was all over the road, and when I saw him all over, and  I mean all over. There are two lanes going the way I was going and he was all over that. So as I was getting closer I was trying to figure out how to pass him safely. Well between the lanes I was in and the other side lanes are the turning lanes, so I hopped halfway in them to stay a safe distance from him. After I passed him he started to speed up but I stayed a distance away from him. While paying attention to the road I wanted to keep an eye on him, just to be safe. I finally come up to the last light before getting to Chris`s job and there`s a gas station. He does not just turn, it looked more like he was in NASCAR, making a wide turn. We all know he was probably getting more beer. On the way back from taking him to work I come across another, yes another, Dumb driver. This time he was speeding so lucky I did not have to pass him. I lost him because he was going so fast.


I know a lot of you probably come across people like this once a week, or so. I am 18 years old and I am not saying I am the best driver, but I have a brain to know, if I even take a sip of a beer, or any drink to give my keys to a sober person that will not be drinking that night. Even if there was not a sober person, I would still know not to get into my truck and start driving. This is not for just my safety but for everyone else.

Imagine if you got into an accident and you killed someone and you lived all because you need more beer or something. I would not be able to live with myself. The excuse that they are young they will make mistakes does not apply to being behind a wheel or and car or truck.  This is serious and is no joke. You got your license, which makes you responsible to know about drunk driving.If you can`t be have someone else drive for you.


So many people loose there life over this and no body ever learns. When will people start using there heads. We are not cats with 9 lives. We only have one, and because of your choice of getting behind a car while being drunk and taking ones life to soon is not a joke. A sorry will not bring them back.

So please use your head before you start drinking, and think ahead.
