[OTT] Drunk Driving
Suspect most of us have experienced drink & drive but of course not all cases are considered drunk driving if stayed within legal limits. But hoped you guys will reconsider the next time you get into a driver seat after a couple.
Wanted to share my own experience on one OTT drink & drive incident; it was about 12 years ago in Abu Dhabi UAE and after a whole night of drinking (double G&T, one for one happy haour) I was on the road back to the apartment.
Normally it was just a 30minutes easy driving with light traffic on an almost empty road. But that early morning, it was the longest drive of my life. I knew exactly what I was doing; could step on the gas or brakes when needed but I keep blacking out, a couple of seconds each time. Couldn't really stop since I won't find a taxi along the desert roads and if the local police caught me napping along the road drunk, I am going to jail. So I drove on, continue blacking out along the way. My as* was twitching all the way..... please don't let me hit anyone...please.....
Anyway, long story short, I have NEVER ever driven again after drinking. I was lucky that time and didn't expect a second time lucky. So now I am always relying on taxis when I do drink, never mind how difficult it is to get one. Please take a cab....don't drink & drive!!
