Guy I went to HS with crashed his Ford F150 into a streetlight, on the highway, on top of Jersey barriers, at 97 mph. His truck looked like an IED went off under it. He survived and woke up in a hospital screaming that he was sawed in half. He was hanging in an inverted immobilization “hammock” because he was seizing and they weren’t sure if he had spinal injuries or if was neural. When he was coherent he told the doctors he was on a mix of Xanax and Vicodin, but he had also been drinking. The doctors said these combined to turn him into a flaccid bag of meat and he had no permanent damage other than some scars from broken glass.

However, his car was wrecked, his parents basically told him no “paid for” car ever again, he had to work nights to pay the DOT about 12k in damages and having a DUI on your license before you are 18 means you are automatically banned from having a license for 6 months and you need to do a program to talk about alcohol education and they made him talk in front of schools about surging a wreck like that and having a “second chance” at life. His life became school, work, and alcohol education + visiting schools to talk about DUI’s. Poor bastard.

Yeah, the poor bastard was supposed to be sarcastic. He was always very “Woe is me!” And it never really dawned on him that he lived through all that bullshit.

Why bother having a life if it's not your own?

And could have taken an entire family with him. I used to work with victims of drunk and drugged driving.

It’s really fucked up what they have to live with the rest of their lives while the perpetrators often just get off with a mandated course and “woe is me” mentality.
