What could possibly be more heart wrenching than seeing an innocent child suffer?
Yet, as I proved in my previous blog, this is exactly what is happening at an epidemic rate on American roads.
Frankly, driving is a dangerous undertaking that is treated by the majority of drivers with callous disregard by for its potential to maim and kill. While I will apologize in advance for climbing onto my soapbox - occasionally even I - as an accident lawyer who witnesses the aftermath of accidents and the tragedy that often lays in its wake - am dumbfounded by the statistics of children and car accidents.
There was not a line in my last blog that did not leave me sick at heart but of all the things adults have been known to do - driving with their children while intoxicated takes my breath away.
Driving under the influence at any time is taking a big chance and often results in loss of someone else's life. But to deliberately place your own child in an automobile and undertake the act of driving drunk is unconscionable
Mothers Against Drunk Driving has been in existence since 1980. Founded by a mother grief stricken with the loss of her daughter in a drunk driving accident it was and remains an effective national campaign against driving while intoxicated.
Certainly it has raised the level of national awareness of the dangers and has led to stricter laws against it. Yet, national statistics confirm that drunk driving deaths continue to occur at record rates.
What are we going to do about this?
