We genuinely need to slow down, no matter how late we are to certain events. One minute makes such a difference with onces life, we have to value our lives more than we really do. There are people who will be saddened by your loss. Don't risk your lives. Small mistake can end up most fatal way. RIP.

Yeah, it’s disgustingly horrifying. I had a patient who was only 23 years old, who got hit by a drunk driver on the freeway and she is stuck in the position she was when she was driving the car and when an accident happened, her hands are shaped and how you hold the wheel, her left foot is extended like how you would extend your foot when driving and her right foot positioned onto the break she cannot speak. She cannot eat. She can barely move. She cries every day she’s suffering please be careful.

As a medical professional nobody understands how dangerous a car can be most of the patients I’ve dealt with our car crash survivors and they say they wish they died because of how they are living now
