Please Be Careful

I’ve lost too many friends and family to drunk, fast and inattentive driving on both the guilty and innocent sides. This was a commercial campaign done in Australia . . . I wish the US had the backbone to show it here.

Lets be careful out there.

Very sobering.

Thanks for spreading a truly worthwhile public service announcement, Bob.

Hard hitting video...beautifully done and I agree it should be aired everywhere.

Very good link. Thanks. also almost every commercial of car motorcycle and truck promote zoom zoom go fast and jump high. People see this and think that's how you are supposed to drive. Its ion TV and must be OK and add booze and drugs on top of being stupid, it is very sad indeed.

Lucky my wife didn't kill herself or our kids or someone else on her recent alcoholic rampages. She's been to treatment and is dedicated to recovery. I sure hope she stays that way for the sake of many!

i wish her the best. it'stough to do alone. the program of recovery i chose doesn't let you do it alone, unless you want to fail..........

St nick, Best wishes to you. I am sure this is a most difficult time for you and your family. I pray things work out for you both. A friends wife was the same but she had the accident and spent several months in hospital recovering then spent a short 18 months in prison for the person she killed. She still drinks and my friend has since left her. I dont know what I would do.

It's been a tough road. If she relapses, I'll have to leave.

Thanks for the support guys.
