Drinking, Drunk or Sober

Two young men sadly lost their lives, due to the drinking and driving epidemic. Satesh Singh and Wajeed Sawh died a slow and painful death, after the car Singh was driving, crashed into a culvert at Little Diamond, East Bank Demerara. Witnesses reported seeing the driver and the passenger drinking heavily (Black Label rum) at a wedding before they proceeded home. I have to wonder if the road carnage will ever end, saving the lives of our young and progressive youths. In the short time, I have lived on earth I have experienced too many of my peers dying, due to drinking and driving. I guess the traffic lights and radar guns are not working at all….what can the government say, other than “we tried”.
