Drunk driving is not a "mistake."

A mistake is when you start with good intentions but get bad results.

There are NO good intentions when somebody chooses to drive while intoxicated.

We're all a mix of good and bad to some degree, so yes, this driver might (or might not) be a good person. Nevertheless, he was being a bad person when he chose to drink, drive, and go over the speed limit. And it's hard to believe that this is the only time since his earlier conviction that he's driven drunk.

If you want to help your friend, help him understand how destructive and evil it is for him to stay on this path.

Maybe he needs better friends, friends who wouldn't let him drink and drive and ruin his life.
