Dear Editor,
We have seen changes to the powers of police during impaired driving investigations and new, more robust sanctions for drunk driving.
The police don’t scare me one bit — I will provide a breath sample anytime they want.
I am afraid of hurting someone. When one drives a car, one assumes a great responsibility to protect other users of the roads. I could not live knowing that I had hurt or killed someone because I got drunk and was so stupid that I decided to drive.
That is the same reason I do not speed and I leave my phone alone in the car.
Driving is a dangerous task. Please be alert, be aware, be sober and be safe.
