Why Do We Continue To Drive Under The Influence?
We've all heard tales of how driving under the influence causes more harm than it does good. And yet, for some reason wholly inexplicable to the vast majority of humanity, people are still doing it. So what's the deal? What's the draw that people get from driving under the influence? Does it actually have an appeal? Or is it simply one of those things that we do because "everyone else is doing it"?
There are varied circumstances surrounding the reason someone would drive under the influence. We usually think about alcohol when someone says DUI but in this case, driving under the influence of drugs – legal or otherwise – would apply as well.
You're out with your friends, and you're tipsy, but you're not so tipsy that you can't drive home. After all, it's just down the block. Or you're that special kind of drunk where you actually drive better with alcohol in your system than you do while you're sober. Or your prescription medication clearly says "do not operate vehicle or other machinery while taking this drug" and you're thinking "Who's gonna take me to work?"
In this period of limited reasoning we never stop to think about other people – only ourselves. While human beings are selfish creatures, we have been proven to think of others at times, even at our own detriment. For example, how many of us gave $10 we didn't have to the Haiti relief effort? So we are capable of thinking of others. We just choose not to.
That being said it wouldn't really hurt to make arrangements if we're going to be under the influence of some substance that will impair our senses. Even if it is only Tylenol or Mike's Hard Lemonade, do you honestly want to be responsible for someone else's injury, or even worse, someone else's death?
We all know the statistics surrounding drunk drivers. We keep hearing about how dangerous it is to do it. We see the commercials on television. And yet we ignore all the warnings just because we think we know better. Guess what? We don't. The tragedy speaks for itself; for all of us actually. And for those of you rolling your eyes, saying "Yeah right; this doesn't apply to me," have fun becoming a statistic. Like dear old dad used to say, "Better men than you have tried."
