work firewall blocks it, what is it?

 

[speed01]

Sad..:frown:

 

[MacBaine]

I wouldn't want to live if that happened to me.

 

[DumbGuy]

Damn that really sucks poor girl.
I wonder how she's doing now...

 

[radioouman]

Wow........ that's horrible. Makes me not want to drive anymore!

 

[Spooner]

No thanks.

Not much to really say about that. the whole story is pretty sad

 

This woman's life has been destroyed, what chance is she going to have now finding a husband and having children not to mention a job/career and a meaningful life.

 

[Joemonkey]

At first i thought "i wouldn't want to live if that happened to me"

then i thought "yes, i would, so i could educate others on what drinking and driving can do"

if it saved one life...

 

[dabuddha]

man thats horrible

 

[MichaelD]

I would rather be dead. I would shoot myself...really.

This is so sad. That girl is stronger than I could ever hope to be...she is alive only b/c of her family's love for her. That young man should be forced to look at her first thing in the morning and last thing before going to bed, everyday, for the rest of his life.

.04 blood alcohol for dui convictions is well established for commerical drivers and safety sensitive workers. And on the horizon for all civilians due to cases like this.

What people don't seem to want to accept, is that something like this could happen to any one of us on the way home today.

And it wouldn't have to be a drunk driver, or some punk kid to cause it.

The chances are indeed higher when the above are involved, but I could get struck by someone just like me, and get caught in that one in a million unlucky situation where something goes awry.



It really sucks how the cards get dealt sometimes ...

I must say .08 is pretty high for a legal limit for driving. That is what, like 4 drinks for a medium sized guy? I'd be pretty gone at that point.

As sad, or maybe selfish as it may be, when I spent months in hospitals after my spinal cord injury I saw many examples of this. I was in A. I DuPont hospital for children in Wilmington, DE in the rehab area. They rehab SCIs, brain injuries, and burn victims. In addition, there were a few children with terminal cancer, on their last leg before they returned home to pass in peace. This keeps me going...It showed me that if these kids can do it, I can. Someday I hope to better the life of just one of them, I have to. I owe my sanity to them, and if I could give up anything to better them, I'd do it in a heartbeat. They're some of the most admireable people on earth, yet they're sadly overlooked. True monuments of willpower, bravery and hope, and I hold them to the highest regard.

That is the reaction they count on, so sick you will never drive drunk/high.

 

[tec699]

I would rather die..

And if that was my daughter, well lets just say that that drunk driver would be pushing daisies.

That is really sad. I feel for that poor girl.

22 years ago my grandma and grandpa were hit by a drunk driver. They were in a Cadillac and he was in a Ford pickup. They estimated that he was going 60 miles an hour around a corner in the wrong lane and he hit them head on. The hood came up and hit my grandma in the face, pealing it off from her upper lip up. Needles to say she is blind, and has had to have a lot of reconstructive surgery. He didnt get sh!t for jail time, only a few years. She has spent a lot of time going to the drivers ed classes at the high school talking about drinking and driving.



And I hope the mods do not lock this, cause if this picture of this poor girl could stop one person on here from drinking and driving, that would be worth it.

Think before you drink and drive please.

Yea.. Christ 22 years aga a drunk driver could slam his car into a street filled with young children and would still be able to walk away without any jail time. Times have changed and drunk drivers do pay, but we need tougher laws.
