Drunk driving is like a hurricane tearing through the nation. It sounds like cries of anguish from a nightmare that you want to wake up from but cant. Drunk Driving is a car darting and damaging with a mind of its own. It is a thoughtless and heartless monster that acts without concern. I will mend the cracks this earthquake has created. I will place an aegis in the way of this great hurricane. I will clear the minds of those who are blurred and awaken people from their nightmare.
