Drunk Driving

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:

No one has any business at all in operating a motor vehicle while legally intoxicated. They should have a designated driver to drive him home. They should not under any circumstances be operating a motor vehicle while they are legally intoxicated. They could compromise their own life as well as the lives of others by their sheer negligence. They should not under any circumstances be operating a motor vehicle while legally intoxicated.

It's OK to drink, but to do so in moderation. If they could of used both restraint and common sense, then they could have avoided the possibility of being arrested in the first place.

You must exercise both common sense and due diligence at all times. If you had enough to drink then stop. Don't exceed beyond your limit either. Learn how to discern a fine line. If you cross that fine you can get yourself into a lot of trouble. And not only that, but you will have to be confronted with a lot of legal ramifications as well.

When do you know when you crossed the line and exceeded your legal limit? That's up to your conscience to determine how far that you have crossed your boundaries. God gave us free will. But he also gave us something called common sense. Common sense helps us to discern what is right and what is wrong. The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: The abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco or medicine. Those incur grave guilt who by drunkenness or a love of speed endanger their own and other's safety on the road, at sea or in the air. I sincerely hope that these people get what he truly deserves.
