The Marriage of Alcohol and Driving by Atty. Gabiel Cosh
They say that there are always certain things that would not and could never be put together, and despite efforts of having them in the same boat, an inevitable result would be the sinking therefore. A classic example is the marriage of drinking and driving. Alcohol has always been the easy culprit for accidents in the road. The explanation is actually quite simple, in a situation when focus and alertness is needed, alcohol serves as a depressant that would actually lead to failure of this essential senses. As a consequent result, drastic vehicular mishaps are brought about and injuries and lost to countless of lives have been the eventual outcome.
There is no prohibition in going out late at nights, and having a drink or two, or even get wasted if that was your choice, provided of course if you are of age to do so. The prohibition begins when after being drunk, you begin to take the wheel and drive like a madman without regard to the safety of persons and property and even your own life. Alcohol has that effect on the driver of the motor vehicle, which is the primary reason why it is abhorred in our streets.
Drinking under the influence of liquor is far drastic negligence as opposed to driving without a license, since in the latter at least you are sober and you have the clarity of mind to consider the safety of persons and property. The only negligence is that you really have no authority to drive the vehicle you are currently controlling. As for the former, notwithstanding the fact that you have your license with you, still your state of mind creates a dangerous condition not only to your self, but more so the people around you who do not even have a simple clue that you are indeed drunk and driving with a drugged mind.
Drinking and driving is so grave an offense, that not only would it lead to the suspension or ultimate cancellation of your license to drive a vehicle, but if caught it may even be a reason for your eventual imprisonment. Probation or service to the community is some common penalties for violation of the rule, yet with constant disregard to such rule of conduct, imprisonment has been seen as a good deterrent for habitual malefactors of the said offense. Hence, if you are a victim of an injury brought about by the negligence of a driver who drove despite being drunk, contact your DUI Car Vehicle Accident Lawyers, they would see to it that the appropriate penalty would be meted out upon the guilty driver.
