As if my anxiety couldn't get any worse, I got into a horrible car accident driving home from work last week. This stupid, & really by stupid I mean horrible terrible words that I am too well mannered to say or type but not too well mannered to think ;) .. any ways... this stupid girl ran the red light going so fast and hit me almost head on because she was driving drunk. So drunk that she could not even stand up, but decided it was a good idea to drive anyway. I just don't get that! Ugh it makes me so angry. Now don't get me wrong, I am so beyond thankful that I am okay and I know it could have been so much worse.. But I am angry for the people that are not as fortunate and for the people that have been killed. I am angry that these selfish people who decide to drive drunk do not have harsher consequences. They get off so easy and then guess what, they do it again! For the sake of this girls family, I hope she learned her lesson. Since the men who she was with pleaded for me not to call the police because she had a newborn baby at home. (just so ya'll know, I called the police & the girl was arrested )As a mother myself, I would think she would think about that before she got in the car, but obviously not. Well I hope this girl never does this again. I hope other people read this and think before they drive if they have had anything to drink also. After being in this accident I looked up MADD (mothers against drunk driving) and was reading statistics that blow my mind. 

*About one-third of all drivers arrested or convicted of driving while intoxicated or driving under the influence of alcohol are repeat offenders.
*Adults drank too much and got behind the wheel about 112 million times in 2010 - that is almost 300,000 incidents of drinking and driving each day. 
*Every day in America, another 27 people die as a result of drunk driving crashes.
*50 to 75 percent of convicted drunk drivers continue to drive on a suspended license.
*On average, one in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime.
*Drunk driving costs each adult in this country almost $500 per year.
*An average drunk driver has driven drunk 80 times before first arrest.
