DUI Prevention

Excerpts from a powerful documentary produced by WCOT in Tallahassee, FL detailing the dangers of drinking and driving.

The piece looks at the story from all angles, talking to Eric, his parents and the families of the victims showing how many lives were shattered in an instant, with the decision to drink and drive.

They visited my school. When he stepped onto the stage in our auditorium, everyone was expecting someone scary or mean. But he wasn't scary or mean or bad. He just made a bad decision.

I've watched this video a few times... Wishing I could show someone I love who is so stubborn and thinks it couldn't be him either. Ms. Napier, thanks for coming to my job. I hope your story touched and changed at least one life. I wish Eric could've come. God bless you both :D

Mrs napier and eric came to my school at Oakleaf high school.I will admit, we all thought it was going to be one of those talk to you about the consequences even and what happened to others. but when we found out that it was from ppl with experience, we all payed attention then. after all of this, at least half the ppl there cried. we even got a chance to walk up to both Mrs Napier and eric and thank them for coming out. Guys, don't drink and drive. next time it could be you

Today Mrs. Napier and Eric came to talk about drinking and driving at my school. Every one was either crying or trying not to cry. I value life more than ever. NEVER EVER drink and drive. Be safe and appreciate life.
