Not Worth the Risk

Routines similar to pre-pandemic years are returning. My effort to keep drunken drivers off the road is not ending.

Routines similar to pre-pandemic years are returning. My effort to keep drunken drivers off the road is not ending.

When I was sixteen, 30 years ago, I was hit by a drunken driver. I suffer daily: My gait and speech were affected, and I lost my driving and hearing abilities.

Look at these statistics for California:
According to the law enforcement, 35 people were killed and 979 arrested for drunken driving on Memorial Day weekend in 2021.
In 2022, 15 were killed and 891 people arrested for drunken driving.
For the enforcement period of Fourth of July in 2021, 43 people were killed and 997 were arrested for DUI.
