Promised myself I will never drink if I have access to car keys near me.
i lost a friend to a drunk driver in poco some years ago; he was drunk too but that's why he was in the passenger seat and let his gf drive...

sad thing is his brother, who's a closer friend, didn't learn anything from that loss... and he drinks and drives himself... i bring it up with him whenever he's going to but he doesnt listen...

He has the mentality of "if the guy who killed my brother didn't why should i?" but he can't see that even his brother doesn't believe in drunk driving..

kind of ranting, im sorry

but i just wanted to say im very glad to hear that you're doing the right thing

It's not just kids. I know more adults that drink and drive on a regular basis and KNOW it and choose to continue to. Also, there's been more than a few times I've seen families pack a car with 7 or 8 people with the father driving. Never once have I seen a white/European family, they have all been brown. It may be fine in your country, but welcome to Canada... that's not how we do things here. Smarten up, follow the law or GTFO.

Sorry for your loss, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you.Regarding your friends brother, maybe you should get the family to have a talk to him if its not already been done?

I used to think drinking and driving was very bad and told myself I would never do it, but then lots of upstanding police officers got caught doing it. They did not get disciplined very harshly and other cops even tried to help them get away with it, so I guess the police don't view it as that big a deal.

So now I don't feel guilty driving around hammered as fuck, running lights, and swerving at pedestrians just to scare them, thanks VPD.

The only person who would fail my post, either drives with too many people in the car illegally or thinks I am making a racist comment. So which one is it? I'm sorry I wasn't politically correct. Stating the truth shouldn't get you in trouble.

People take driving for granted. Opening night of Olympics I almost got t-boned (my fault, sober) cause I got too relaxed behind the wheel. That kinda shook me up for a few days and now I don't let my awareness slide anymore. Kinda scary how one bad mind slip can alter lives forever.

As for drinking and driving that's just stupid man. 7 people safe trip from Vancouver to white rock is probably what, $10 each cab fare? I can't imagine the mental anquish this dude is going through. He's probably gonna end up staring at the wall just having conversations with himself even when he's released from jail.

I am just blown away. Retards in our government spend all this money to outlaw handheld devices while driving because a few people have died directly because of them in crashes. Hmm, whats this, 2 deaths from ONE crash DIRECTLY from drinking and driving? They should have saved the goddamn money they spent on this stupid handheld device law, and spent it on doing more impaired checks. Or a cab services after the bars close. Or something to that effect. Drinking and driving kills so many people every year.

Most likely nothing will happen. This guy will just lose his liscense for a few years and maybe 200hrs of community services.
