My sincere and heartfelt condolences OPY. As an ex pilot I am extremely disiplined regarding alcohol and cannot understand or tolerate anyone who takes this risk. IMO every country should have a zero limit - the only safe limit. Currently where I live I would be incapable of driving (I very seldom drink) but still be legally under the limit.
Sadly those caught are seldom punished severely and is obvious when you see the recidivist offenders. Education is the key in to prevent youngsters offending - perhaps those young punks should be taken to the crash sites.
I hope anyone who ever contemplates getting behind the wheel intoxicated reads this post and hopefully OPYs nightmare may deter them.
My thoughts are with you OPY.
