    Hey Snakes,

    Glad to hear you are OK! People do so many things in their cars these days besides driving. I am quilty of the cell phone calling, but no texting. I've gotten close to causing a wreck by trying to eat a Mexican pizza from Taco Bell before. It is definately not an eat and drive item.

    Take care of youself and we shall have to talk soon in person.

    Sincerely, Choosing Life

    Makes one appreciate life, huh?

    I wish booze and cars were not mixed. What a deadly combination.

    Glad you are ok.

    Wow, I bet after the adrenaline had left you were shaking like a leaf. I'm so happy to hear you are ok. I too have no tolerance for impaired driving. I lost two nephews to drunk drivers. Shawn and Dusty, ages 4 and 2, Shawn would be in his early 30s by now had his life not been wasted by the need to have most of a case of beer before hitting the road. I hope they nail him.

    I am very sorry to hear this happened to you and that others might have died or have been injured. What a horrible experience!

    I once saw a woman's brains splattered all over the white, snowy road during a snow storm. I was about 19; never drank and drove after that.

    It's a horrible thing to be involved in something like that, but if you're fortunate to learn from others' mistakes, then maybe others are fortunate, too.

    So very sorry for your terrible experience!

    Happy to hear you are ok.

    My little brother was killed in a drunk driving accident last year. He was the drunk driver. Thank god no one else was involved. I will never understand why he did it. It hurt us so much, he was a wonderful brother, a great friend, and a loving son. Drunk driving hurts so many people, please anyone who reads this, take this to heart. This tore apart my family, and could have torn apart other families. I hate it when people say they are a "good drunk driver", or one or two drinks won't hurt before driving. Please think about your family, and all the other people on the road!
