Hurt never goes away

Editor: As I read in the paper about yet another repeat impaired driver, I am left to wonder what to do next. The RCMP catches about four impaired drivers per week, which means that probably 20 people per week drive impaired.

As I read in the paper about yet another repeat impaired driver, I am left to wonder what to do next. The RCMP catches about four impaired drivers per week, which means that probably 20 people per week drive impaired. Now I see more people are also getting impaired charges from drugs.

It’s been 21 years since my son was killed in a drunk driving accident at age 25, and 24 years since my daughter died from a drug overdose. The hurt never goes away. It seem like no matter how much education we give to drivers, they still drink and drive and somehow think it’s acceptable.

Thank you to all the local citizens who call the RCMP and tell them about drunk drivers.
