Well, obviously im from ohio, and up here the weather isnt up to par with california's. I drive a piece of **** 1998 cheverlot prizm, sure its not as good as the mustang's in the school parking lot, but i love my car. My car was my baby, i took care of it like no other, i feel like an idiot but i actually cared for my car. It was a gift from my parents, had about 150,000 miles on it but it could go to 300,000 miles. It was worth at max 1750-2000$
I was at a party where i had about 4 beers over 4.5 hours. Nothing out of the ordinary, i am a partier and 4 beers in 1 hour wouldnt make me trashed. My tolerance is pretty high.
I thought "hey im fine to drive, might as well drive home so i dont have to call my dad and tell him im sleeping over and get *****ed at by him." So i said my goodbyes around the party and left. I was running late from the point i told my dad i would either be home or call him (12:30) So instead of taking the straight shot to my dad's house (which has about 5 lights) i decided to take the long bending road back-way, which has 0 lights.
I was driving about 40 in a 35, yea its speeding, but its not reallly bad. And i come around a bend to tight, and hit a piece of ice that was by the curb, which sends me into the left oncoming traffic lane, so i pulled the wheel quick to the right. I pulled it too sharp and went into some peoples yards, i hit about 2-3 mailboxes and i blacked out.
Next thing i remember is im sitting in my car with a paramedic in the passenger door talking to me, theres 3-5 police men, 20 neighbors standing around watching, and 6 fireman using the jaws of life to open my smashed car door. I learned later that i blacked out because my airbag came up and hit me in the face and i was knocked unconscious. My car then veered into a boulder, smashed my passenger door, and i rammed head on into a telephone pole.
I wasnt wearing my seatbelt, and the only thing that kept me alive was my airbag. They cut my door off and sent me to the hosptial in an ambulance. The cops caught up with me and asked if i had been drinking and if i had how many. I know from enough Cops shows that they will check you no matter what, so i said "yes officer i had been drinking, but i dont remember how many.(i said this incase i passed the blood test.)" He said i will tell the judge how cooperative you are, and that should help.
I was released in the afternoon. The crash happened on Friday. I have no Broken bones or stitches, just a few big bruises and long cuts on my head. But both the doctors and police both said it is a miracle i am able to walk away from such a bad wreck....My car is completely totalled. My license is already taken away from me for 90 days. But im not stupid i know I will not have a license for almost a year(when i turn 18). Ill have to go to Alcoholics Annonmyous meetings most likely. And i will most probably have to pay some kind of fine. My court date isnt until may.
My life will suck for the next, 10 months, i will have no car, some of my "friends" wont be my friends anymore because i need rides everywhere. I will owe money to the government. Ill have to do some kind of rehab/conseling. And im going to have to buy a new car in 10 months, and start to pay a ****load of car insurance when i get my license back. And im going to have to be the sweetest son to my parents....It could be worse though, i could have been dead.
So please all those kids out there who drink, listen, dont drive, even if you are okay to drive. Because if you get into a ordinary wreck, youll still get charged with drinking and driving. And then say bye bye to your license until your 18
So do the smart thing, stay at your friends house, tell your parents that you drink and you shouldnt drive, get someone else to designate drive and take you home. Do anything to avoid happening what has happened to me.
And yes i know im lucky to not have hit anybody, not to kill myself, or if someone was in the car with me. Yes i know im an idiot for driving when i thought i was perfectly fine.
So please, spare me the lecturing talk, i will have plenty of time to be lectured in the next 10 months.
