Heard on the news yesterday that Ben Morphey, the driver responsible for deaths of five people at Blythburgh a year ago, has received an eight and a half year sentence.
As the BBC reports, the families are devastated by the sentence. The judge has told Mr.Morphey that he will only serve half the sentence in jail and the rest on licence.
This doesn’t exactly hit home the message that drinking and driving don’t mix. There are die-hard drink drivers out there, so even a life sentence wouldn’t stop some people.
Perhaps if these people could feel the hurt, the pain and the emptiness that these families are feeling, maybe that would change their ways…
Perhaps if these people could witness what we witness when we attend these incidents, then maybe that would change their ways…
But perhaps not… Because after 8 pints of lager you probably think you are the best driver in the world.
