you dont drink and drive because your smart..luck had nothing to do with it
Was in back to back car accidents in 2004. One in May and the other in Nov. One was because of a cell phone and the other was just sheer ignorance on the other man's part. He thought just because he turned on his signal light to get into main traffic that it gave him the right of way and pulled out right into my side of the car totaling the car I was in.
On the other end my brother-in-law {Now Deceased} was in an accident and drunk to the hilt. He lost control over the truck which my sister and another young man was in and the truck rolled and rolled many times before stopping.
Their friends picked them up and they were all ok. The next morning he woke up screaming for my sister {his wife} that he couldn't move, she took him to the hospital and he had a broken neck and was in traction for a year after that with pins and plates in his head and never being able to move, just pinned flat in traction.
He had to learn to walk and do the basic things all over again. In all 3 years for one night of drinking was basically taken away from him.
Long story huh? But it always amazed me as to how he even survived it that same night.
