The Dangers of Drunk Driving

Drunk driving is very dangerous. Alcohol causes one to not be as aware. It also slows one's reflexes. This is a real problem when one is driving. Drunk drivers get into car accidents because they cannot tell what is happening around them or they cannot react fast enough.

Drunk driving is dangerous to many different people. When one drives an automobile while under the influence of alcohol they put themselves in danger. Because one cannot react as fast to actions happening around them and their automobile accidents happen and people are killed. Many times it is not the driver that dies. When this happens not only do the drivers have to go to jail but they have to live with the fact that they killed someone because of their irresponsibility.

The driver obviously, is not the only person affected by drunk driving. When a drunk driver kills someone the family and friends of the victim are affected.

One night a couple years ago a young man was driving home from a bar. He was drunk and driving fast down Mandarin Road. He lost control of the car and crashed into a tree that was on the other side of the fence from his backyard. A few months later his father could not take the pain of having lost his son and he committed suicide.

Drunk driving is very dangerous. It can affect not only the one driving wile intoxicated but the family and the victims and their family.
