Reply To: Drink Driving?

when i was a child i spent all the school holidays with a family on a farm.
The family is stayed with were a bit lie the darling buds of May, there was allways something going on, it was a much happier place than my own home.
there was mum,dad and four children. one night in 1982 three of the young family were killed in an accident. The driver of the car that hit them was an alcoholic. Another motorist had watched helplessly as she clipped the pavement and clipped parked cars. Eventually her car hit the mini that the youngsters were travelling in. They were 18 ,19 and 23.
Ive watched their mum and dad live their lives, their dad was laid to rest with them a couple of years ago and now its just mum left. The saddest thing was when their one grandson got married ..it really highlighted the enormity of that one night many years before. the grandson had no aunties or uncles at his wedding.
I was 15 when they died and obviously have never driven under the influence………..It would feel like telling their mum that they were nt important.
I think the lady who killed them was lucky in that she died in the crash too…Im not sure anyone could live with that.
thats what i think about drin driving!!!
