Its not Chris or Dolan’s fault!


Clearly the blame falls on Toyota, Budweiser, and the county for constructing the biggest killer of them all – a road.

It is certainly not Dolan’s fault – he was not in his right mind. Nor can blame be laid on Toyota, Budweiser, or the county. It is society’s fault for not having enough laws. Yes, there is a law against DUI. However, to ensure this never happens again, there needs to be a law against turning left while DUI.

You have to ask yourself….

Who are these people that refuse to not drive drunk?


The education campaign has been around since I was in Jr High School…yet…every day in America people are being killed by Drunk Drivers.


Frankly…we are just not serious about it as a society.

If we were the punishments would be more severe…drive dunk…lose you Car…DONE.

These are the same idiots that got participation trophies all through their youth, the feel they can do no wrong because they are winners at everything they tried.
