Very graphic. Some people don't realise that not only it's their lives they mess up but others around them. As graphic an disturbing it may be, they should be showing the video on TV to warn people, and even shock, drink drivers into realising what effects it can have on them and their famillys

Here is another shocking video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Casscet_lPY
The title of this thread should be Don't drink and drive EVER!
Far too many people are cautious over the festive season but soon forget this when the season ends.

We were hit by a drunk driver last year.
We were lucky in one respect that only the Scorpio was a write off.
I remember the police arresting him at the scene for this offence. ;D
He wasn't just over the limit. He was completely legless!
After the event i rang him on his mobile to calmly discuss our altercation.
At first i requested an apology, as to which he replied, "Why? " >:(
Quickly followed by "How did you get my number?" ???
My retort was swift and precise, "Not only do i have your mobile, i also have your address!" ;)
Upon hearing my future plans to providing him with an in house service, he quickly changed tact and profusely grovelled for the next five minutes.
I believe if more drink drivers were made to face their victims then maybe, just maybe this may prevent them re-offending.
It will never go away and some people will never learn and some don't even care! :'(
Would i have paid him a visit if i didn't get the right answers.
Do bears sh*t in the wood!
I wouldn't condone any vigilante retribution. However, in this case i was prepared to make an exception :o

Take care
