better a tree sticking thru the front vs. a human.
A kid one year older than me right out of school died when driving drunk with his buddies them being lucky to be alive when at a VERY high rate of speed (over 100 the story goes) got launched while driving drunk missing a curve going airborne lodging the car in between 2 trees straight ahead. Another kid right out of high school much older than me when i was a youngen' nicknamed Guppy who I knew was driving yet again drunk at over 100 mph on his cycle hitting a wooden street pole sign no helmet taking his head clean off. He was the youngest and nicest of the brothers in the family. The story goes the paramedic/ambulance crew threw up on that one as well as my best friend living on same block as me, same grade, when we were in 5th grade together his mom died due to his Dad driving drunk hitting a metal guard rail splitting his boat mobile old 1970's Olds sedan in two ending up having his mom's side demolished totally.
I think of all the 100's of times in my youth my Dad drove drunk from the bar mostly either retired or even 'stopping' with the guys after work makes you wonder how it doesn't happen more often.
Drunk and/or speed kill!
