A drunk driver is very dangerous. So is a drunk backseat driver if he's persuasive.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I will never have a drink and get behind the wheel of a car. It's not illegal to drink and drive, but there becomes a certain point where it does become a crime.
I am the person who is a mother against drunk driver.
It's just not a good idea to drink and drive; that is just common sense. But common sense is not that common!
We all have the temptation to be backseat drivers when it comes to decisions that don't work out the way we want.
I went out with some old friends and we were having fun. A couple of them were very intoxicated. When I went to leave, I refused to let them drive. So when I got pulled over, I was the driver.
I can drive. Let's just say you don't want to be in the passenger seat.
Nowhere in this country should we have laws that permit drinking and driving or drinking in vehicles that are on American highways. This is not rocket science. We know how to prevent this, and 36 states do.
All it takes is one drink to mess with the way you drive - it clouds your judgment and slows your reflexes. Don't take any chances. It just isn't worth it.
I will never have a sip of alcohol and get behind the wheel again. Regardless if I'm 300% sure that I just had a sip and I can drive. It doesn't matter.
When you're drunk, you always think you're not. If you even drink at all don't get behind the wheel.
