This drinking and driving mentality which has kinda been the accepted norm in Trinidad for the longest while, has got to stop.
Yesterday, i get hit by a drunk driver overtaking on a corner. Apparently, he " only had 3 beers and 3 puncheon" . His judgement and his accomplices was that he was still fit to drive, as he wasn't drunk. He got away without a scratch.
The left side slammed the pole and stopped it from reaching into a river. The entire side of the car is a wreck, as well as the drivetrain. The diff bent under the impact.
At the end of it all, the two cars got smashed, still waiting to see what insurance will say. Thankfully all the passengers in his car got away. All for what... a few beers. He wasn't as drunk where he couldn't walk. But the small amount of alco in his system impaired his judgement. The lancer mash up and i have some minor injuries. The owner asleep in the backseat got some damages.
Interesting thing is that we got the car from the mechanic shop saturday, installed a LSD sunday morning and wrecked it sunday evening.
That is what makes it wrong.
So people, yuh after this stop here and there by each and every bar, at least make sure you have a driver who could take you safely home.
If not for your sake, at least other road users.
