Local law enforcement agencies always encourage citizens to not drink and drive. They do not want to see the damage and carnage that can occur if a drunk driver takes to the streets.
The same is true for Canadian police agencies. Recently
the Burnaby RCMP unit (Burnaby is east of Vancouver B.C.) released a dash cam video
from a vehicle driven by a drunk driver, showing the damage to other vehicles,
signs, and one fire hydrant as it occurred. It also shows the driver running a
red light and a stop sign. According to the CBC, while no one was hurt or
killed, property damage amounted to $35,000 in Canadian dollars. That is $27,382
in U.S. dollars!
You do not want to be responsible for property damage
like occurred on the night this driver was on the road. So, if you are partying
over this holiday period, make arrangements for someone to help you by being
your designated driver and taking you home.
