Drunk Driver
by admin on Jan.20, 2009, under Uncategorized
There are few crimes that society seems to gloss over unless they themselves become the victims and then they shout foul from the mountain tops. Drinking while driving seems to be one of those crimes that our society has “tolerated” unfortunately. The arrest rate for drunk driving is on the increase and yet, most people don’t seem to get the message that it is absolutely inexcusable behavior. Ruined lives result because someone didn’t want to take responsibility for their behavior.
If you come across a driver who seems to be impaired, please keep your distance. Should you feel the need to report it, please be aware that you will be asked the following questions: What is that impaired driver doing to cause you to think they are impaired? What kind and color of vehicle are they driving? Do you know the tag? What direction are they traveling? Are you going to continue to follow? What kind of vehicle are you driving? What is your exact location now?
Impaired drivers are not only drunk drivers. They can also be drugged drivers. Prescription, OTC drugs, illicit drugs and certain medical conditions can trigger reckless driving. Be both on the offensive and defensive when driving.
Stay safe.
