Are we sure the pedestrians weren't distracted? Always blame the driver.

While the focus is rightly on the drunk driver, it's worth noting that pedestrian safety is a two-way street. Both drivers and pedestrians need to be more aware and responsible on our roads.

They mention 'under the influence' but no details. Is this just fear-mongering?

This happens far too often. The police need to do more than just make arrests after the fact.

A clear message: don't drink and drive. Period.
