[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 743066, member: 1550"] If he still drinks he will drink and drive. Not to scare you, but my daughter told me yesterday of a young woman she is friends with whose fiance was killed this week when he drove drunk. He hit a pole and did not have his seat belt on. The girl is beyond devestated. This happens. A lot. My daughter said he had driven impaired a lot feels bad, but thinks he should have been off the road. She is a Corrections Officer and sees a lot of bad stuff. Once I knew my oldest daughter did drugs, that was the end of her car use and our paying for her to drive. Period. I didnt want her or somebody else dead. She did have two accidents after 18 before she quit. Both times "friends" let her drive. Both were her fault. One lady sued her and she owed $14,000 and we did not help her until she was two YEARS sober. Then her dad paid off the balance. We listen to them whine and cry how they NEED a car and forget that they could die and we contributed if we help put them on the street. If he is still using he will drive in an altered state. If you help pay it may be on you. Never help an addict drive. My daughter had to get rides, walk, etc. She survived and thrived without a car. And she DID hurt someone when her "friend" let her use her car, the fool. But it was not money we had to pay. Just another perspective. Driving is a privelege, not a demanded right from an irresponsible user. Please dont. My daughter eventually got a job, bought a cheap car and had to pay sky high insurance but no accidents since sober. She is doing great. Just my different slant. Driving can kill. And while using, they dont drive well or think of consequences. [/QUOTE]
