You booze, You cruise, You lose

Drive safe, man”  This is the typical weekend sendoff as hosts of parties and dinners begin collecting the wine glasses and empty beer cans and say goodbye to their guests. There is rarely a debate on if anyone is “okay” to drive, and for the most part, everyone gets home. But on occasion, the tales begin to filter out — of the young men and women injured, of mangled cars, of cops asking questions, of pain and of parties gone wrong. Pakistanis’ utter disregard for traffic rules is made even more evident on weekends, when people frequently turn without signaling, break the speed limit and signals alike and speed by so fast that even presidential cavalcades seem like a procession of turtles by comparison. And just a few months ago, one man — reportedly driving while inebriated — ran over and killed a man and a woman on Karachi’s Korangi Road. The case was eventually settled after a payment of ‘blood money’ under the country’s Qisas and Diyat laws. 

another incident happened on highway. the guy named saad khan who was drunk but saved from major accident. Khan was driving on a steep section of the highway and a truck came up in front of him. He says his delayed reaction was likely because of the alcohol he had consumed. By the time he noticed the truck, he slammed the brakes “a lot harder than was needed”. When you are drunk and driving you do not know exactly where your car is going and do not know where the road is because everything is blurry and slow 

Keep in mind too it’s not only drunk driving that can be deadly, but distraction. Teen distracted driving is a huge problem as well. 

Drive safe someone is waiting for you..
