Each year around 11,500 -13,000 people get killed by drunk drivers. This problem can be preventable if people decide not to get behind a wheel while being intoxicated.
I agree that drinking and driving is dangerous and that it could ruin someone’s life.
Why do people drink and drive? Alcohol can affect the brain which can lead to a lack of control a person can have in themselves.
A reason why I think Drinking and Driving is bad is because it kills approximately around 37 people each day. That is about 13,000 people per year. Being drunk causes you to be dizzy, lightheaded, and blurriness which causes the majority of the crashes.
Oh and another reason why I think drinking and driving is bad is that it can get your licenses suspended. In the state of Massachusetts drinking and driving can lead to your license being suspended up to 45 days to a year. What that means is you can not drive for a specific amount of time and will be given requirements like taking classes or being fined to receive your license once again.
Also did you know you will have a permanent criminal record for getting a DUI?. A DUI stands for “ Driving under the Influence”. If you have a criminal record this may cause things to go a lot more difficult for you. You can face problems like getting a job. The majority of the time a manager or boss can get a background check on you and see your criminal history.
In conclusion there are many ways you can avoid drinking and driving. And also be aware of your surroundings to make sure no one else’s life is at risk.
