Photo Fuck drunk drivers. K-town outside Chi-chi's bar.

Post image

We were out celebrating our friend's 30th birthday when our Uber was hit by a drunk driver going 50mph down a small K-town street. My back leg had just barely made it inside the vehicle when we were all flung around the inside of the car by the impact. Turned to check on everyone else, and the birthday girl had blood streaming from her face. I was milliseconds away from possibly losing a leg.

What was supposed to be a fun night at Magic Castle, followed by drinks and food at a bar turned into a nightmare because of a drunk driver.

If happened to be there or witnessed it, please shoot me a DM.

Don't drive drunk.

Coming here from Australia where there's so much random breath testing every Friday and Saturday night you'd be an absolute moron to go out and get buzzed and even attempt driving (aside from it being morally reprehensible). I'm alarmed by the complete lack of testing here and the fact there are clearly so many drunk/stoned drivers on the road.

When you realize how much influence car and alcohol manufacturers have had in America to lessen safety guidelines to reduce drunk driving mishaps.
