The only smart thing is not doing it. I know people who regularly drunk-drove for 10+ years without accidents. Are they being smart about it too? Please don't

Please don't put other people's life at risk because you feel smarter. Don't text and drive.
- Noumenon72 5y agoIf you could turn off being drunk at any point when you felt you needed more concentration -- foggy night, urge to speed, narrow turns -- it would be far safer to drive when drunk. There are many reasons why the chart of auto fatalities is dominated by those with less than high school degrees[1], but one is that accurate risk assessment and good choices matter. For example, "Should I send a text one word at a time once an hour on a straight road going through Nebraska in broad daylight, or should I text continually with both hands in heavy traffic?" The first is a risk easily worth taking, even with other people's lives. 1. https://schultzmyers.com/low-income-missourians-more-likely-to-die-in-car-crashes/ https://schultzmyers.com/low-income-missourians-more-likely-...
