It does not appear that any of the parties involved in drinking and driving. Drunk drivers are not the only people you have to watch out for on the roads, you have to keep your eye on everybody.
I feel so awful for all the victims but especially the teenagers. They had a full life ahead of them that was just taken away form them in the most awful way.
Life is short so please cherish your loved ones. You never know when it’s going to be the last time you see someone. Alo please be cautious and very careful on the roads. One wrong mistake can cost lives.
Feel free to email me with any of your comments and concerns. Be safe and enjoy the rest of the holidays with your family and friends.
