No Drinking and Driving!

      Mercede Linn Ogan, 26, of Salem, Oregon, had been out with her two friends, who had been drinking all night. Mercede, having been appointed the designated driver, was driving back  home at  about  2:30  in  the  morning on

October 14. They were all laughing and having a fun time... until they got into an accident. Now it's no laughing matter!
     What happened? Mercede crashed into a car which had been pulled over onto the shoulder. She rammed it hard enough to, in return, rear-end another car. No one got hurt, but whose fault was it? The police were immediately on the spot to investigate. How did they get there so quickly? Actually they were there all along and barely escaped injury. 
     You see, the two cars she struck were police cars! And they both had their emergency lights on! After further questioning, it was found that Mercede had a little something to drink herself. But how much?  Tests showed that her blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit! Designated driver?! Apparently, she was chosen because her two friends were more drunk than she was. The police charged her and sent her to the county jail. She's not laughing anymore!
     Look! If you do go out and drink, then have a designated driver! And that means the designated driver DOES NOT DRINK !!
