klusener, that was extremely touching. my husband and i are going out for new year's, but i am remaining completely sober since i volunteered to be the designated driver.
 
I hate drunk drivers. If anyone I know every gets injured/killed like that because of a drunk driver, I will personally look up the list of all the drunk drivers in my state and kill each and every one of them, and then move on to the next state.
 
Yep what the hell could be worse than a drunk driver ? :/ ...
... A sober serial killer ?
 
what if a drunk driver crashes and kills a serial killer

I think that's a victory for everyone (well, apart from those involved), espescially if the drink driver dies or is imprisoned.

Seriously though, I hate drunk drivers. Anyone caught should have their license taken away before they kill somebody.
 
Horrible stuff.I never feel safe riding in a car.Killing machines.
 
I believe that drunk driving and excessive speed are leading causes of death for some age groups - like 16-20 years. I can't even comment on the story linked...other than it is overwhelming and gut wrenching.
 
I agree, i think that story should be used for TV adverts that will work a lot better than any advert i have ever seen.
