Poor driver!!!! He’ll have to live with this person’s stupidity for the rest of his life!
@Bd You know what’s poor? Your comment is poor cause at the end of the day that person is love by someone and alcohol is a disease just like like drugs, only difference that is legal. Sometimes if you don’t have anything good to say, just stay quiet
Are you suggesting that intoxicated people, dressed in dark clothing with dark skin, have less chance of justice if they are struck by a vehicle that is operated legally and safely?
Would you suggest that car owners be prohibited from driving them, because there may be people disobeying the law in the streets?
