I don’t think this accident has that much to do with drinking. He wasn’t wasted. If you think he should of called an Uber after having a beer at a skatepark on a Pacific Northwest Island then well good for you.
I agree, and personally I think it's a shame that the focus is almost 100% on the alcohol rather than reckless driving. Everyone knows you are a piece of shit if you drive drunk (you would never see drunk driving on someone's instagram), but reckless driving is still venerated in a way.
That’s what I’m saying. Driving super fast is fun as fuck but super dangerous like crazy dangerous. I’m gonna get called out for this but if Cory was really drunk he wouldn’t test speed and curves like that. He was over the limit but basically sober, this is more about driving fast. Speed kills. RIP Paul Walker, P-Stone #3
I'm just wondering, are you saying this because you know how Cory drives or is it an assumption people don't drive insanely fast while drunk? Because if its the latter, than I'd say that is an absurd assumption. Just look at the Ryan Dunn accident, he was like .196 and going 140 mph.
According to what I've read he'd had reckless driving tickets, don't know if that's true, but I'll go ahead and assume he drives too fast and that that's the main aspect in this tragedy. I just don't think a .10 is gonna turn a safe driver into someone who goes full speed into a tree. I'll go ahead and believe that Ryan Dunn also drove too fast, intoxicated or not. I believe a lot of things I can't verify, so it is what it is. Not trying to downplay drunk driving, but driving sober is just one step in being a responsible driver.
Quick example: Ishod Wair just posted in his story some car speeding and then a picture of Cory Kennedy next, bad taste in my opinion, but he probably didn't even think about it that way.
I don't think that's how you can really balance the equation like that. Fact is, in both cases they drove reckless or too fast, but in both cases they were also drunk (in Ryan Dunns case, obliterated). I think both should be acknowledged. If Cory drove too fast often, the time that caused this terrible accident he was drunk.
Look, I get the message you are trying to spread, but I think you are doing the opposite argument. You are downplaying drunk driving in an attempt to play up reckless driving. Both were serious contributors to what happened. I'll also go out on a limb here, and say P-Stone not wearing a seat belt probably played a part.
Having had a friend die, primarily because he didn't have a seatbelt on (they were driving reckless, but he's at worst leave with a broken collarbone if he was strapped in), I never forget to click-in my seatbelt anymore. I hope people look at those 3 factors and acknowledge all of them, and don't make similar mistakes
