      I believe they’ve been able to prove that you’re less likely to get seriously hurt when your body is more relaxed. When you know something bad is going to happen, you tense up and that causes more bodily harm unfortunately.

    Just a tip for everyone that at night try to not be in the left lane of travel if possible as that is where most of these wrong way drunk idiots are going to be since they think they are on a two way road in the right lane. At one point on 3 consecutive visits to my family over the course of a few months I came upon wrong way drivers on a divided multi lane highway. Two of them passed me and one had just crashed and killed someone. All of them had been in the left lane.

If you take out someone else while driving intoxicated and live, you should be thrown under the jail in a very dark hole for the rest of your life. If you die, then bury you in a gunny sack in an unmarked grave to be forgotten!

I always found marijuana DUI arrests to be very rewarding. Marijuana stays in the system for up to 30 days, so marijuana users are arrestable any time they get behind the wheel, even if it's prescribed by a doctor. And it's a felony for marijuana users to possess firearms even in states where marijuana is "legalized", so one traffic stop can often turn into a whole lot more.

      Your advice is valid but the innocent driver, who is my dad, was entering 696 from eastbound 94. He only had the option of the two left lanes when merging onto 696. The accident happened just after the Gratiot overpass. My dad didn’t have but 1/2 a mile on the freeway before it happened. So anyone saying don’t drive in the left lane, sometimes, unfortunately, you don’t have a choice when merging onto certain freeways. And the accident occurred at the curve at Gratiot. It was a blind spot. My dad nor the other driver would have been able to see one another in time to react.

    Driving on a suspended license. When will lawmakers decide to not just take away their license for DUI but take away their car? Make it harder for them to get behind the wheel to begin with. As long as the license is suspended, so should the car be impounded. Not a perfect solution, but far better than this outcome. So heartbreaking and infuriating.

      The problem is that people who can afford to hire a lawyer to take care of speeding tickets get those tickets amended to an equipment violation which does not put any points on your driving record. Thy just have to pay a bigger fine. Depending on the prosecuting attorney, people can get by with multiple speeding, careless driving tickets and still have no points. This needs to stop. Adding points to driving records is done for a reason, to suspend habitual speeders and keep them off the road for awhile and maybe teach them a damn lesson.

    Couldn't the police car following have done a pit manoeuvre on that car long before the crash? Why is the safety of the criminal a priority?

    I do not, and will never, understand WTF is going on with these people who drink and drive. How will it ever change?
    Here’s an idea of what might possibly have an impact on those that think they are fine to drive, pay no attention to our laws...
    How about locking people up for quite a period of time the FIRST time they get pulled over, see how much fun it is behind bars. By the time any of these drunk driving people get caught, you know this isn’t the first time they drove drunk. It’s only the first time they were caught.
    Things have to change. Obviously, what these judges are fining the driver for, given a warning about if they come in to court for the same reason, then we’re going to not just give you a slap on the wrist, we’ll add a fine to it.
    By the time these drunken drivers kill someone, they have driven umpteen million times drunk.
    Like I said initially, I will never get it why it continues to happen, other than how lenient the judges are to the people. The police do their job, and from then on, the courts, defense attorneys and judges, ignore all of the hard work the police do to help keep us safe.
    Judges were lawyers first before being seated on the bench. Their thoughts and actions were always to find a way to free the person with little or no consequences for their action.
    My heart breaks when the innocent people, living their life, looking forward to another beautiful moment, their life cut short from a drunk driver.
    May this person who died from the drunk driver, be peaceful resting. May their loved ones and friends know that our hearts are also broken for you.
    🥀♥️🥀

    I've gotten MANY piggy-back rides from the bar.
    Great way to travel, especially when drunk.

      I got a piggyback ride home from a bar years ago. The guy was 6 ft 6 and when I was disembarking, I fell and broke my wrist. LOL. Definitely not funny at the time! At least nobody else got hurt because of my night out drinking!

      @@LostDesertGirl There are some risks in using piggy back rides for transportation.
      The Transportation Safety Administration has been researching various ways to make it safer.

    What good is it to just pursue the wrong way driver? If I was a cop pursuing a wrong way driver and he/she does not immediately pull over and stop I would have done everything in my power to get that driver stopped. Pull up beside and force the car into the barrier wall, or if you have a space when no other cars are approaching then do a pit maneuver and get that vehicle stopped. Yes of course, everyone knows it is not the police officer's fault that the wrong way driver made a stupid decision but I'm just saying a life could have been saved even if it means an aggressive maneuver or take down.

    So they filmed it vertically, then there is no footage of the crash?
    Whoever put this story together as news needs to go back to doing the weather.
