Weekends are a time for
relaxing. For some people, that means overindulging in alcohol. Unfortunately
for drivers on the road, some of these drinkers will choose to drive
afterwards. Smart revelers will designate a member of their party to be the
driver and have him or her drink non-alcoholic beverages so that others can be
driven home safely at the end of the party. If a designated driver isn’t
available, an intoxicated driver should either find a ride home with someone
who hasn’t been drinking or get himself a cab.
Drinking
responsibly is what it’s all about, whatever day of the week
it may be. Car accidents can happen at any time, and that one brief moment can
change a life in an instant—even destroy it. People can get injured, and
families can lose a loved one in the blink of an eye.
There is very little that
distinguishes an ordinary DWI from a serious one. In a DWI car accident, the
police may initially charge with ordinary DWI, only to later raise the charges
if a severe injury or death occurs. If someone dies because of a DWI accident
that you cause, you are obviously facing very serious charges. At the very
least, you could be facing a Felony Death by Vehicle, which could put you
behind bars for a long time.
The next time you have
one drink too many, don’t risk it. Your decision could impact the lives of many
people, including your own.
