 Did you know that today is one of the deadliest days to be on the road? Last 4th of July, Texas had over 337 traffic crashes involving Drivers Under the Influence (DUI). My guess is that with a firework ban in Austin, Texas this year, that the numbers will be even more substantial. Without fireworks, there is more time to throw a few more frosty ones back. You may have noticed increased officer presence this weekend, I have seen them in all sorts of new hiding places---but tonight it will be even more substantial. Few officers will get to celebrate with their friends and families so that they can hopefully save others. If you are sitting there thinking, you will only have a few cocktails and then hit the road---sit down, stay awhile longer and then think about it again. ANY crash you get into that you are found to be above the legal limit, you will be at fault, even if the other guy ran into you. You will be at fault even if the pedestrian walked out from behind a parked car and there wasn't even a cross walk. You will be at fault even if the 18-wheeler rearends you at a stop sign. You will be at fault if a biker runs a stop light. Even if you are considering staying sober before hitting the deadly roads, thats probably not a good idea either. The drunks that cause deadly car accidents survive. The sober people die. However, if you must drive, take extra precautions and drive defensively. |
