CHP has arrested the driver in the hit and run, a repeat DUI offender. He said he did not stop because he "thought he only hit one dog." Doesn't that boil your blood as if one dog does not matter??!! So he is charged with multiple felonies. I hope he gets many years behind bars!!! But nothing can restoreo the lives of four sweet dogs nor repair the damaged bodies of two young people who did not do one thing wrong! I could tear that miserable SOB apart with my bare hands!!
We have a huge DUI problem in New Mexico and tragic stories come out daily. What I find most appalling is the people who drive drunk (they always think they are okay) with children and grand children in their car. But anyone impaired behind the wheel is a potential murderer and those who are distracted by their &%())&)** cell phones, either talking or texting, are just as bad. I'm all for banning any use of mobile phones while driving. Yeah, I know, not a popular idea but it is a huge safety issue. Anyone caught doing it should at least have their insurance rates doubled!! I will not answer a phone if I am in traffic or on a risky road, pull over when I safely can and call back. And I tell people if I am out on a semi vacant highway that I will call back soon and hang up at once! I would just die of shame and anguish if I were to cause an accident that way!!
