Just in time for the holiday weekend, a must see site

http://remi.k.free.fr/alcool.htm

Some think that the worst thing that can happen when you drive loaded is you kill yourself or someone else. This site shows that there is something much worse. Anyone here with teen drivers in the house should make them view this site, it is, to use a cliche, an eye opener.

I worry about drunks when I drive around with my wife and kids in the car.

My oldest daughter just got her permit.

She lives with my ex-wife but I worry about her driving. It's not just the drunks on the road but also her inexperience at driving.

The first time I let her drive with me in the front seat next to her, she almost pulled out in front of a Cadillac that was going about 50mph. I yelled and she slammed on the brakes. So did the guy in the Caddie and then he slowly swerved to avoid us the whole time looking at us as if we were crazy. I wish they would never grow up and stay 3 or 4 years old (except for having to forever pay child support)

I past this on to the Pirate site.... the folk there are just a weeeeeee bit less conservative than I suspect ya'll are here sooo. It's probably a good place for it to be a sobering reminder.

Thanks for posting it.

A horrible, but important reminder. Bump.
