"I Killed a Man."
This is the video that was shared on YouTube that my Dad responded to in the media. This man killed a 61-year-old Navy Vet because he was driving drunk, the wrong way, on an interstate. He took full responsibility for his actions and it pleading with people not to drink and drive. It's a campaign called #saveyourvictim.
The under-age drunk driver to killed my brother also took responsibility for her actions, even going to far as to travel to Florida from South Carolina, without her attorney, to meet my family and answer any questions we had about the night Stephen died. She also stood up in court and admitted what she did and apologized. But she shouldn't have had to do that. She shouldn't have driven drunk in the first place, then she wouldn't have anything to be punished for, or guilt to live with for the rest of her life. Please spread this word to others. Drinking and driving is not worth it.
Don't drink and drive.

What a tragedy. Yours and the experience of this man on the featured video. Driving under influence is always a serious matter. It's a tragedy not only to the victims, but also to the young people who have no idea of the grave consequences of their actions.

Thanks for sharing this video, Nicole. It will surely help spread awareness about the negative consequence of driving while intoxicated. As you've said, while it was good that they admitted fault for their actions and took responsibility, it really should not have come to that in the first place.
