I’m a student at Layman E. Scott High School working on an op-ed [for a class assignment] on drunk driving in the Cayman Islands, more specifically focusing on Cayman Brac.
From the time I could even understand the English language, I’ve always heard about and seen wrecked cars from fatal drunk-driving accidents in Cayman Brac. I think that because of Cayman Brac’s small population, the deaths resulting from drunk-driving incidents are more shocking in comparison to Grand Cayman.
I think that the fatalities stemming from drunk driving in the Brac really show that there is a massive issue at hand. I know that the government plans to lower our current lenient blood-alcohol content from 0.1% to 0.07%; however, I don’t think that’s enough.
