I've been in a few car accidents, the most recent was last July 4th. Went out with some friends at around 1 in the moring and drive around. The driver (whom I didn't personally know, and was a friend of a friend) and front passenger who picked my other friend and I insisted that they hadn't been drinking for hours and were sober, and as far as I could tell that was true. But all of a sudden, at around 3 in the morning, we went over some train tracks and the driver lost conrol. Hit 2 parked cars in the street one after the other, went through a few lawns and uprooted a tree ni the process, and finally stopped when we crashed into someone's Land Rover in their driveway. The car was completely totally, ed front whell and suspension system totally ripped out of the car on the front left hand side. Stupid friend and I weren't wearing seatbelts, but we were okay (she had a minor concussion and I had a couple cuts). My friend in the front passenger seat almost went blind in one eye because his head went through the windshield and lo and behold, the driver was FINE> Not a scrape on him. But as it turns out, he WAS drunk. Bastard f*cked up good, and he paid for it

Nicke, that's terrible, and definitely glad you're ok,
thanks for telling the story, it's always good to remind ourselves about being careful, and looking out for irrational drivers.
You know, I put a lot of blame of this on our public transportation system, here in the U.S.
It is impossible to go out by bus, so I imagine everyone that drinks, ends up having to drive back home. I know that it's still your responsibility if you chose to drink not to drive, but it makes going out quite hard here! It's easier to think"I'll just be extra careful/I'm not that drunk/I do not want to spend 10 dollars on a taxi" than to find other means of getting home/getting there.
I don't know how the situation is where you live, but here in our University, we have a very poor bus system, and you've got 30,000 crazy kids out on the road. I never drink and drive, but have been in a car accident where my friend was drunk and he was driving(stupid stupid!) and a couple of people in the car broke their ribs.
hope you get a nice new car, and stay safe on the roads!!!
