As I was driving home from work tonight, a little car almost rear-ended the Vue on the Loop. That frightened me, but these things happen. As I drove along, I merged right and the same car almost side-swiped me on the driver's side as it pulled along side me. As it passed me, I saw the driver lift a long slim bottle wrapped in a paper bag.
I drink and drive: soda pop, or water, sometimes coffee. Years ago, I was guilty of drinking and driving after the drinking included alcohol. I have not done that for many, many, many years. I realize how dangerous that could be. I do not even have a glass of wine when I eat out, unless I am not driving.
I watched the driver forge ahead. He was basically driving okay, with an occasional swerve. I did not get make, model or license tag. I was in the middle of heavy traffic. I did not know for sure this person was drinking alcoholic beverages. It was not safe for me use my cell phone. So, I did not.
This is just one of many examples of why drinking and driving is not acceptable.
