dont drink and drive!!!

[sultry]

[B][CENTER][COLOR="Red"][SIZE="4"] I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum
So I had a sprite instead.


I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.


I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,

Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mum
Something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,


And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mum, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,


As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,


While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mum

Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mum


I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mum,


As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mum!'
So I love you and good-bye. [/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER][/B]

sickening
bloody drug and drink drivers do my fookin swede in

drink / druggy drivers should be treated the same as someone who plans to murder -- and should be sentenced that way too.

It is sickening how many lives are still being detroyed by this bloody needless act of DUI, As a parent, just pray it never touches our lives...

grrrrrrrrrrrr at drink driving .. its something ive never done and something i will never do ..

sultry that poem ...
gets the the point and hope all who read it will think twice about drink driving..

I don't think you should be allowed any alcohol in your system if you're driving. There wouldn't be any question then when breathalised.

That's really moving sultry hun... well done for spreading an incredibly important message.

Anyone who chooses to drink or take drugs and then drive faces a life in prison, a life of guilt and regret, loss of friends and family, loss of job, driving licence and so much more. I simply cannot comprehend why someone would risk so much, just for the sake of the price of a bus, tube or taxi.
