I have less than zero respect for people who get behind the wheel after drinking. Totally unacceptable, an utter disregard for anyone but themselves.

Hope your mate is ok Rad.

I know EXACTLY how you feel mate, a pissed up driver hit one of my best mate's car's about 3 years ago, unfortunately it killed him in this case!

I was fuckin gutted when it happened, i'd grew up with him and then he was gone just like that, I hope your mate pull's through as I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone, least of all another mate like you!

I saw a hopsital program the other night with an american who stepped out infront of a bus: head injuries and a badly ruptured aorta. At one point they mentioned a 10% chance of survival. At the end of the program he was sitting up in bed with a smile on his face.

I'm sure your mate will pull through
