Nashville Auto Accident Lawyer Reminds His Readers That When It Comes To Drunk Driving, “Stupid Is As Stupid Does”
Drunk Driving
Stupid is as stupid does, and getting loaded and then getting behind the wheel of your car requires a whole lot of stupid. Reference a couple of recent drunk driving escapades, the first involves a 24-year-old man who took drunk and drove his car out onto a railroad bridge and got stuck several hundred feet from the shore. The driver claimed he was passed out and another guy was driving. Believe that one and I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
The second incident involves another 24-year-old, a woman who ran a red light at half past midnight in downtown Nashville and t-boned a Metro Police officer in an unmarked DUI enforcement car. Wow, how convenient, she came to him. Unfortunately the officer suffered injuries and had to be cut from the vehicle before being taken to the hospital. Our prayers go out to him for a quick and complete recovery.
As an experienced Tennessee car accident lawyer I want to remind you that driving with a BAC of .08 or higher is illegal in every state. If you follow my blog you will see that in Tennessee we continue to see a tragic number of people with debilitating injuries and deaths as a result of impaired driving. This careless disregard for human life must stop.
Drunk driving is one of America’s deadliest crimes. In Tennessee in 2008, 327 people were killed in crashes where the driver or motorcyclist had a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. That is down from 377 people killed in 2007 with a BAC of .08 or higher. Over the 2008 Labor Day holiday, 12 people were killed in 10 fatal crashes on Tennessee roadways, down from 17 people killed on Tennessee roadways in 2007.
