Driving drunk was just done, all the time...I did. I drove high on pot as well. I also drove too fast and reckless.

I was incredibly lucky, indelibly so.

This has nothing to do with the NFL or the thug life...this young man just had a faster car than most.

I don't know how to prevent it, no ones does. I grew out of it, most do, a lot do not.

Another family in mourning...thank god I wasn't the cause. I could not live with myself.

Fair point. I did a fair amount of the same in high school. It was in a 63 40hp Bug though so my top speed was a fair bit less. I would say there is a lot more awareness today of how dangerous this is vs when we were coming up. I remember cops breaking up parties I was at telling everyone they had 60 seconds to get in our cars and head home before we got arrested.
