It’s 2016 and you are still trying to control the decisions of others?

A question of sobriety again? The Darwin pool knows no bounds…young, old, intelligent, mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, children, parents, but no one seems to get the picture – EVERYONE thinks it always ‘happens to the other folks, never to US!’

STOP GETTING LOADED AND DRIVING! Do NOT get into a car with someone else who is high or drunk!

This is just another sad testament to the lunacy that happens on the road!

I know the women that died she was a bartender and she had a few drinks the other people in the vehicle were also drinking then add not wearing seatbelts it just spells disaster. So sad but I mean come on people make smart choices so you don’t hurt yourself, others and in this case (like many other cases) a person’s family is now torn apart. I don’t understand why people drink and drive I don’t understand why people still don’t wear seatbelts….

They were probably speeding. The Pacific Shores area is infamous as a place where people party and drive wildly. It is sad that there were injuries and a fatality.

Seat belts are a test of intelligence, and Natural Selection was at work here. I can say (in honesty) that I’m sorry for the families of those who do not meet the standard, but I don’t think the bar can be lowered any further. af

Got news for you Fatback and Anon:
She was drunk driving? Not only does her death certificate state she was a passenger (which could very well be a mistake- apparently no one was driving the vehicle at all) it also clearly says alcohol was not a factor in the crash. Oh! What’s that? She was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol and this was in fact a tragic accident? Interesting. While common sense does dictate we should wear seatbelts (and helmets while riding bicycles – if you really want to talk about safety issues) it does not justify any a**hole slithering their way out from the woodwork to degrade the intelligence of the deceased and their lack of judgment, for said a**hole’s sick righteous pleasure. Everyone makes mistakes. Unfortunately, mistakes can cost lives. I wonder if this were your own family, would you still be so cruel? This was a senseless death indeed. Please people, be safe.
