<p>Pea, I can’t imagine how anyone can live their life knowing they were responsible for someone else losing theirs. I always remind my kids that one mistake like driving drunk could change their entire life. I just hope they never do it. </p>
<p>A few weeks after I graduated from college I was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver. I was lucky, I only ended up in the hospital for a week. The driver was never charged with drunk driving. People saw him dumping beers out of his car, but the police just charged him with wreckless driving. That was a long time ago. I hope he wouldn’t get away with it now, but when you read about people with multiple DUIs causing fatal accidents, law enforcement is obviously still too lenient. If my kid got a DUI he would be paying for any financial responsibilities and he would not be driving my car.</p>
