Drinking and Driving

I think it would be usefull if people started to take away tge license's of anyone who has been caught trying to but alcohol. It would save more lives and I think that is the whole point of this situation is to keep people from drinking and drivng. It is also to keep teenagers from buying alcohol. I also think it would help alot if you took the license's away from people buying minors alcohol.Being a teenager myself, I know teenagers go to adults to buy alcohol.

Drink Driving

Get Drunk Teens off the Road

The only thing between the life and death of young teenagers is alcohol and their vehicle; we need to keep intoxicated teens off the road.

Behind every act there is always the influence that provokes the choice even the consequences.

The lives of others are being put at risk due to reckless behaviours of young restless teenagers.

Numerous young peoples’ lives have already be stolen by alcohol, there needs to be something done to keep the youth alive.

In many cases teenagers have been influenced from a very young age, their opinions and choices being manipulated when it comes to consuming alcohol, then later on in life mixing it with a late trip home from a party.

A lot of young people are, in fact, dying before they get old …dying tragic, meaningless deaths.

Most drug related deaths are due to alcohol, we need stricter laws and solid rules to crack down and minimise the death toll of road accidents caused by drunk drivers.

Friend’s don’t let friends drive drunk..

drink and driving

Near to the door

he paused to stand

as he took his class ring

off her hand

all who were watching

did not speak

as a silent tear

ran down his cheek

and through his mind

the memories ran

of the moments they walked

and ran in the sand (hand and hand)

but now her eyes were so terribly cold

for he would never again

have her to hold

they watched in silence

as he bent near

and whispered the words...

"I LOVE YOU" in her ear

he touched her face

and started to cry

as he put on his ring

and wanted to die

and just then

the wind began to blow

as they lowered her casket

into the snow...

this is what happens

to man alive...

when friends let friends...

drink and drive
