Drunk as a Skunk - Drink Driving
By Kacy Carr
Take a little double vision add a touch of dizziness,
sprinkle in some clumsy, mix with slow reflexes
and there we have it a recipe for fate.
This is a lethal cocktail of symptoms namely a
death sentence for any motorist jumping behind
the wheel of a car while drunk as a skunk. If the
driver is fortunate to escape with his life, it is the
life of another who may fall victim to his/her act of
stupidity.
Taking the life out of living of an innocent
pedestrian or leaving a parent without child can
only enforce heartache beyond belief for the
bereaved; some would say a life for a life. Would
the rate of fatalities be on the rise through drink
related road accidents if hanging was brought
back? I don't think so.
Reality kicks in for the alcohol fuel filled driver
when effect of the drink wears off
This person now has to face up to the
consequences of their actions, where in some
cases you will find the drink driver has no
recollection of the trail of destruction they have
caused. Ask yourself is it worth it? Just one more
for the road leads to another and another.
Wisdom is the only word that springs to mind that I
feel drinkers should heed, learn from the mistakes
of others.
Where is the justice
It seems unfair that the drink driver is behind bars
for something that he/she can not remember
being part of. Well this is all part of the package of
binge drinking where loss of memory gives good
cause for you not to know what you were doing at
the time.
Sentenced for losing control of the mind, it just
doesn't make sense the driver asks him/herself.
Had the driver been in control, then surely the
crime would not have been committed. Sorry no
excuse. Yes drink does hinder the ability to make
the right decisions when it comes to handling a
vehicle, but you have to remember you were not
drunk or hindered when making the decision to
take the keys to the car in the first place. So there
you have it in a nutshell Guilty.
The car is your life should you drive for a living, the
car is a pleasure providing machine. The car a
great vehicle to have in an emergency.
But should the owner of the car jump behind the
wheel while under the influence of alcohol the car
becomes an accessory to murder.
Influenced by alcohol and the mad thoughts where
you think you're the next Nigel Mansell on the
roads? You think that no one can match you on
your driving skills? Well think again? Drink affects
everyone in the same way.
After abusing the consumption limit for the intake
of booze. Drivers lose jurisdiction over their
thoughts and actions where they qualify to maim
or injure, in other words a licence to kill.
Common sense saves lives, have a close friend or
relative transport you to your chosen venue for the
evening. Leave car keys behind therefore less
temptation to drive the vehicle. Say no to last
orders if need be. Taxis are a reliable source for
getting you home safely or walk if your local is in
walking distance/
It may not be a life term prison sentence imposed
on you by the judge, but it may as well be. The
horrors of the night/day in question will be a life
sentence in itself where the memories will haunt
you till your dying day.
The biggest and best tip I can give to any drink
driver is, when leaving the home for a night out on
the tiles, make to sure to give the wife kids or
partner a kiss, as it maybe the last.
