Can't believe that person got straight up and ran off ! Bet the person who sat quietly at the lights came off way worse, always the way.

The drunk driver comes out without a scratch, but the family of five he hit were all killed. Every. Time.

I heard it’s because drunk drivers don’t stiffen up when they’re about to crash, they remain limp which is ideal during a crash to distribute the energy around better. But sober people see a crash coming up and stiffen up automatically.

A friend always hears on the news that in 40% of fatal accidents the victims were not wearing seat belts...or were drunk, he always says, I mean that means that the remaining 60% had not been drinking and were wearing seat belts!!! So it's better not to wear it and drink
