@Sooner...I am so very sorry for your loss.

This just reenforces my strong belief that drunk driving laws need to be much stronger and severe.
Too many states give drunken drivers too many chances before they get serious punishments.
IMO, the very 1st offense should get their license suspended and time in jail. After that, any more offenses should be felonies with long prison terms. At minimum, they are attempted murderers using their intoxicated use of a car as a lethal weapon.

Thank you. It was years ago, but I think so often about what that text was. And someone died for it. It just breaks my heart. What a simple thing to NOT do to save a life.

@Sooner...unfortunately, it still goes on every day. It scares me to no end when I am driving and see someone on my bumper looking down at their cell phone and texting instead of paying attention to driving.

I fear with pot being legal where I live, that there is going to be even more incidents of driving under the influence.....police have already reported more stops finding stoned on pot drivers.

I think air bags deflate quickly, so if you are in a chain reaction wreck, you could get hit after the airbag is deflated. . .

I thought she retired because I haven't seen her presenting in so long! She must work the day hours or part time now.
That's terrible news about her accident and I'm glad to she is doing much better and returning!

@Sooner, I too am very sorry for your very significant loss. That is one of the saddest stories I have ever read. I am glad your Mom is doing well though.

I didn't realize her accident was that serious. It's a lesson on how your life can be upended in a second. A teen texting rear ended the car behind me and that car slammed into me a year ago. Lot of car damage but no one hurt. The kid was still texting when his Dad arrived at the scene. I would've thrown that kids phone as far and hard as I could if I were his Dad.

I'm surprised to see anyone post this about the legalization of pot.
It is not a politically correct or popular viewpoint.
But I agree one thousand percent.
I get chastised regularly when the topic comes up and told it is much less impairing than alcohol (and I'm no fan of that either) etc. etc. etc.
But I do believe it is just another invitation to increase the bloodbath our highways and roads are becoming as people are now driving not only drunk, but high, and texting/using their electronic devices.
I think the long term effects of legalized marijuana will be much more eye opening and health/financial/socially damaging than most people can imagine it will be.
