A Seattle man named Dan Schulte lost his parents and whose wife and infant son were critically injured by a driver who police say was drunk is speaking out against driving under the influence. Mark Mullan, of Seattle, has pleaded not guilty to vehicular homicide, vehicle assault and reckless driving in the March 25 crash in which his pickup truck hit four members of the family as they crossed a Seattle street. "All of us need to do what we can," Schulte said, adding that he hopes people will pledge to not drink and drive." Lawmakers in Washington's state Capitol are debating a proposal to increase jail time for repeat drunken driving offenders and to bar some of them from drinking.
The workings of this world may take us in different directions, but you never expect that you are going to have a life changing accident. The thing about this accident is that it could have been prevented. People don't realize what might happen if you get behind the wheel of a car under the influence. You never know, you could hit a family of five as they cross the street because your reactions were slowed because of alcohol. Use your time wisely here on earth and give your keys to a sober driver.
