It's scary. period. He could just as easily have hit a child or another car. Lots of people are killed in cars by drunk drivers too (I know - I'm preaching to the choir, so to speak). At least bikes might have a chance of getting out of the way. Not usually so in a car. We somehow have to change the mentality of drivers - you are operating a deadly weapon. You cannot be drunk, read, put on makeup, watch a movie or tend to your child while doing this. And there should be severe consequences for those who choose to put others' lives at risk by doing so.
