Impaired Driving  &  R.I.D.E

19/12/2018

0 Comments

 
It seems so simple to say:  Don't Do it.
I won't be drinking & driving this holiday.. everyone else I know, probably will. 

It is difficult not to do in a culture where alcohol, socializing and vehicles all constantly collide, a society which encourages you go out to the bar for a few drinks & hang out with the gang.. it's in every movie, print ads and television & the way to 'Party' is to apparently (in some circles) have someone pour an entire bottle of champagne in your face - frig...   alcohol marketing is delivered to our door in what I'll admit is a lovely magazine full of recipes and HOLIDAY  alcoholic beverage suggestions, I chose a special bottle of 'Ginger something..  it was sold out.

At the LCBO- you can get a ' ice skater full of scotch, a skate full of whiskey, bottles shaped like skulls (very cool to all ages), cats - my dad at one point had an entire train collection - and my own son was given -much younger than the legal drinking age -  a hand blown glass dog full of fine cognac, I'm sure there  are countless creative vessels I have not even seen. In the USA for example - it use to be a big deal  for Canadians (still is for many) to visit an American Alcohol store to check out all the COOL stuff - and sneak a bottle or two back in the trunk of the  car. It's also incredibly CHEAP $$$

When I visited California I noticed we pay double (AT LEAST) for the exact same wine you drink from everywhere - it's not fair.   We drink - moderately..  If forced to choose - 'Go with' or 'Without' - I'd go without.  I don't care what others choose - we have NO control of what others put into their body, if anything I feel sorry for alcoholics  BUT  I do NOT agree with drinking & driving.  No impaired driving - this includes cellphones.

I do feel police should arrest impaired drivers, before they kill someone or hurt themselves & it's only a matter in many cases someone gets seriously harmed.. When I was younger yes, I did drive impaired- I am thankful I was never in an accident,  I recall  driving to the city many times with friends and we had too much to drink - although back then the response  was ALWAYS:   I'm fine to drive!!!       I was  LUCKY.
I know several now who have not been so lucky.

If you don't kill someone - thank God.. if caught driving impaired you will still pay heavy fines, lose your license - which could mean lose your job - especially if you drive  a lot or drive illegally & make matters worse..  embarrass yourself & family - it's NOT worth it.
The thing is -  for all of YOU who do moderate - great! Thank you.
Hopefully you will avoid all those on the road who don't care & do choose to drive impaired.  
 
To everyone I love & care about:
Have fun- Enjoy ALL that God graces you with,  drink, taste, feel - experience it all - but please do not drive impaired because it might end your life.
I'd miss you. 


​Tis the season as well for R.I.D.E  & new laws - longer prison sentences - how often I read of someone killing  someone and hardly to they do any jail time - worse - they are  REPEAT offenders- time & time again.  NOW, IF you get stopped- chances are YOU WILL BE TESTED.
