Out having a walk to look at christmas lights and had to tell off a drunk driver when he almost ran into us. "Asshole! Use @HailoToronto!"

Some people never learn. According to the CDC, “Every day, almost 30 people in the United States die in motor vehicle crashes that involve an alcohol-impaired driver. This amounts to one death every 48 minutes.1  The annual cost of alcohol-related crashes totals more than $51 billion.” These accidents spike up during the holiday season, and this year is no different.

Each year nearly 11,000 people die on the road due to drunk driving. Have a safe Christmas, don’t drink & drive. http://t.co/JNk7F1f5 #cadmv

Please be careful, get a designated driver, and do the right thing, people.
