As today we just had a car vs motorcycle locally, this was a bad one yesterday.

I’m not sure if there is an increase in OUI or it is just headlined more. Seems like from the stats, a person dies every 45 minutes in a related encounter.

Very sad. I think we would be stunned if we knew how many people have alcohol or drugs onboard as we encounter them on the road. The FJR community lost a highly regarded member last week in Atlanta. A man driving a Sprinter turned left across his lane as he was headed home from his daughter's baby shower.

Terrible.

And with children in the car, too.

I saw in an Albany paper today a woman was pulled over with five times the limit and a twelve year old child in the car.

Apparently other motorists called the police as she was apparently "swerving all over the place."

I do a lot of bicycle riding...all you need to do is look at what's tossed out the window to know people are not only drinking and then driving, but drinking while driving as well.

Sadly, this happened here in Alabama.

North Dakota had 4 motorcycle fatalities over the holiday weekend. It's crazy for this small state. And sad.
