Drive For A Change    17/11/11

          Drunk driving kills people and should be stopped now to save lives so in my opinion drivers should gather together in a community to stop bad and drunk driving as well as to save families life’s and to get drivers to pay attention to the road. Heartless apathetic and aggressive drunk drivers don’t care for anyone or the society. Drunk driving and bad driving can cause many injuries and accidents to the people in the car or other people for example pedestrians or bikers. Drunk driving ruins family’s and tears them apart. Can people imagine the pain, sadness and sorrow that these families go through every day?

            It seems like now that driver’s attention is mostly on themselves and especially the people in the back seat but not on their surroundings. This can cause people getting run over or people getting hit or severely hurt. Also reckless and inconsiderable drunk drivers cause 90% of deafs around the world. Also people could lose trust in the city and drivers if people keep on getting hurt by this. Almost every day I see a car crash or a pedestrian that was badly injured and all this is caused by drunk driving.

          The government should enforce laws around the city for drunk driving and come up with solutions. The governments do have cameras for red lights but not necessarily speeders. For instance the government should put up speeding cameras all around the city not just at red lights. If the government trusted drivers there would be less cops on the roads and more cops to help stop crime. Apathetic drunk drivers break core values for example compassion and respect if drivers can follow those rules our roads will be a safe place and remember drunk drivers ruin family’s lives. This could be one step closer to a better tomorrow.
