Driving
The effects of driving under the influence has been tied to my life in a few ways. I have a lost a decently close friend because some one who was drunk wrecked his car into my friend's car. This event really made me think about life and what my friends mean to me. Whenever one of my friends or family drive a car after they have been drinking, it makes me very upset and they hear about it. My oldest brother used to drink and drive all the time while I was growing up. When I started to mature and get older I began to let him know how much I was against it and why. He said that he will not do it anymore, but I know that he still does. If there were a way that everyone could confince one other person not to drive after drinking and have them actually listen to you, that would make such a big difference. I am not going to lie, I have driven a wehicle after consuming too much alcohol. The feeling that went thought my body when I had realized what I had done, it was horrible. I would never put myself in that situation again. Thinking back on those moments anger me a lot. I would never risk anyone's life like that ever again. Every year everyone that was friends with my friend that past because of DUI comes together on the
If you wanted my honest opinion about how I think that law enforcement should go about reducing DUI, I will tell you. First off, bartenders should be forced to follow all laws, making sure no one exceeds their limit. Officers could also patrol around bars more and more around the time that the bar would be closing. If I were a police officer of the law, I would set more road blocks near bars, therefore if a few people get busted a night, people will stop being so stupid and driving. Magazines have an even bigger affect then newspapers do, at least I think that they do. If you make it all the way to the magazines then you must have done something pretty damn bad. I personally do not understand how anyone could think that they are being glorified by doing something so horrible that they are put on public display, but then again why would you drink and drive uncountable times. The only thing that I think should be put in any kind of public display would be the punishment. The name nor the picture of the person who commited the crime should be put on display for anybody to see. Why do people drive there cars to the bars late night anyway? I think that is one of the most dumbest things in the world. I mean obviously if you are going out to a bar in the middle of the night there is only one thing on your mind. I don't think that the one thing on your mind is going to be , I wonder if I am going to be able to drive home saftely without hurting some innocent people. If you live in a city or town that isn't very big and you do not want to drive to your house, there should be a service that you can call to come pick you up, take to and from the bars if you pay them a certain amount of money. The last public display that makes the biggest effect would have to be the television. From what I have gathered, it seems that criminals feed on whether or not they get on television or not. If killing innocent people by getting drunk and crashing into their car is what you call good publici
