To Drive, or Not to Drive?

This blog is about clear thinking, not sensational high-profile news stories.

That said, consider this morning’s Toronto Star article “ Jack Tobin sentenced to three years in prison for drunk-driving death ”.

Based on what is printed in the article we read that:

• “ ... a pickup truck that Tobin was driving packed with five other friends, all heavily drunk after a night out, in a rooftop parking lot ...”

And

• “Boxall told the judge Aug. 5, noting that Tobin never intended to drive home that night ...”

That doesn’t make sense to me.

Six of you are drunk in a roof-top parking lot, about as far away as you can get without some busy-body snooping around.

And you’re NOT thinking of driving yourself home?

All six of you “heavily drunk”, no designated driver.

The bottom line is this: Whoever was in control of the vehicle was drunk.

Regardless of intentions.

And that, I believe, is against the local law.
