I don't know if this story is true or not, but figured it would be of interest to everyone here.

Many many kids are drinking and driving. It is illegal to drink underage, it is illegal to drink and then drive, but they are doing it because kids have a "it is not going to happen to me" attitude.
It often takes a scare like this to wake them up and realize the gravity of what they are doing.
I know people personally that this has happened to. They went around "living it up" because they thought they would never get caught. When they did, boy! did they get a rude awakening. But now, they have learned from that experience and are thriving. They have put the event behind them, but still carry it's lessons with them everyday. Hopefully by seeing that it can happen to anyone, younger kids will take notice.
