The car in which I was riding last night was stopped for a drunk driver
random spot check.  The Chatham (NJ) policeman asked the driver if
she'd had anything to drink, he explained that Morris County had the
worst record in the state for drunk driving offenses, he handed us an
explanatory note and we were off.  These spot checks will cause some
drivers to take greater care this season, I'm glad the policemen were
out there doing something constructive about the problem.

I think the note (which I don't have handy) said that 67% of driving
accidents (or was that fatalities?) in Morris County were the fault of
drunk drivers.

If you drunks get into fatal auto crashes this season, I can only hope
that you collide with other drunk drivers.  Might as well make the best
of sad circumstances.
