As @caoimhaoin says, Just an unfortunate accident lads, no ones fault really.
A Waterford coroner’s inquest heard that the driver of an eleven year old Volkswagen Golf, Eamon Dixon (22), had a blood alcohol concentration of 221mg - more than four times the legal limit - as well as having traces of cocaine and other drugs in his system.
Mr Dixon’s friends, Kenneth O’Sullivan (39) and Michael Tobin (38), died alongside the young driver when the Golf crossed onto the wrong side of the road on the N72 outside Dungarvan, Co Waterford on December 4 2016.
The inquest heard that Mr Dixon from Abbeyside, Dungarvan was “off his head” that day on drink.
@caoimhaoin made a valid point on some drink drivers. There are those who wouldn’t approve of drink driving but under the influence made the decision to do so. They feel guilty the next morning. Then there are the cunts who brag about getting away with it. Under the law there is no difference and it’s of no consolation to the family of a victim but there is a difference between the two. Alcohol affects people differently.
Alcohol affects people differently. Some people drive to the pub with the intention of driving home. Some people wouldn’t have the intention of doing so but after a few decide to chance it. The law rightly has zero tolerance.
