Thankfully I was still up reading my book, but that didn’t stop from making my heart start pounding when the phone started ringing at 1:15am, because that can only mean one thing… somethings wrong!
I answered it and it was Paul! He called to say “guess what I just did”. Here I’m thinking he got in an accident, locked his keys in the the truck.. something like that.
Nope.. he’s playing Mr. Cop tonight.
He just about got in an accident due to someone just about hitting him because they ran a red light! He said the guy was obviously drunk.. going from one line to another. Going anywhere between 35-45 so he said ya know what.. screw it and dialed 911!! Since he was following him at that point he was able to give them the license plate number, color and make of the car and which way the person was heading! The Sheriff’s department said they would send units out that way and have some by his house in case they didn’t find him.
Needless to say Paul is feeling pretty good right now. Maybe if they do catch the drunk driver (I pray they do) Paul will of saved someones life tonight!
All I know is it seems like we are hearing about more accidents lately where someone has died due to drinking and driving! PLEASE.. if you drink, don’t drive! Have someone be your designated driver! If you don’t have one, just call a taxi or even a loved one. I can promise you, they would rather pick you up than have someone give you the news that you got in an accident and either died or killed someone else. It’s not worth it! Please be responsible!
