Court presents DUI tragedies to Owasso students

This sounds like a great program for students. I was quite surprised by the number of students who said they had ridden with a friend or relative who had been drinking in the past 2 hours. I wonder how many were drunk in the audience.

My daughters knew Nik and the other kids involved in that terrible crash 13 years ago. You would think that would wake them up and it probably did for a short period of time. Kids think they are invincible and that nothing will happen to them. I am still fighting to this day for my daughters to wear their seatbelts and they were raised wearing them.

We had one of these in Cleveland. Noel Nation, Vice Principal of our school at that time. He lost a daughter, and he wife will spend the rest of her life in a wheel chair because of the accident. The drunk driver hit their full size van so hard, that you could reach through the glove box and touch the front of the grill on the van. Terrible things happen to innocent people, when the role of intelligence is not in place. People. Please. Have a little faith, that someone, someone out there that you know. Who is sitting at home watching a movie. Would have no problem in the world to come and pick you up. And if all else fails, and everyone you know is with you drinking. There is always a cab. Mom and Dad. Your Pastor. You know what I mean.

Sorry to go on and on. I have just had a lot of friends lose their life, or have been hurt very bad due to drinking and driving. I really have never understood the meaning behind it. But, life does go on.

"Golf and alcohol don't mix, and that's why I don't drink and drive. Because, good grief. I'd knock out my teeth, and have to kiss my smile goodbye."

Awesome program. One of the only things I miss about working for the DA's office.

Elusive, Surprized, Kids are doing Alot more that their parents know about. The only difference sometimes in what people call a good kid and a bad kid, is just that some of the Good kids have done the Same things as the Bad kids, Just never Got Caught at It. HMMM, Something to think about. Huh And making mistakes doesn't really make one a Bad Kid, Just one who made Some Bad Choices. But believe me there of alot of kids people think are really good kids but they just ain't been caught yet. That's why it's Best NOt to Point Fingers, yours might be the next one in trouble...

We need more of this type of thing in our schools.

My View--The 3 days is for missing 1 dui class. Not for driving drunk. This is just a small part of what the "criminal" must do. Even if the "Criminal" has attended every other class, they are not allowed to make it up. Having a job is no excuse, but some people have to work so they can pay fines, etc. Some people have to work weekends, too. What a Narrow View you do have.
