Vikki Coxon A DUI Fatal Injury Victim

Drunk Driving Caused by Authorities Alcohol Licensing

Vikki Caxon 24, just another on tragic drunk driving victim statistics. She was walking to her home in Main Road in the village with her boyfriend Craig Morley, 33 after a night at the nearby Bristol Arms pub when Kerry Mills 28, of Wellesley Road, Ipswich driving drunk in a Vauxhall Astra slammed into her from behind.

Miss Coxon was thrown on to the windscreen of Mills’ Astra and carried 30ft before being flung on to the road and August 27. her left leg snapped in two places, while her right leg suffered sever ligament damage.

Her right arm was broken and she is now unable to fully extend it. She needed a blood transfusion, 42 staples and 37 Stitches and spent six weeks in Ipswich Hospital. She is confined to a bed except for a few rare excursions in a Wheelchair and doctors cannot tell her if she will ever walk properly again.

Her parents David, 62, and Diana Coxon, 60, are caring for her and Mr coxon, a lecturer at University College Suffolk, is taking early retirement to be there for her.

The South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court heard that when Mills was breath tested police found she had 171 milligrammes of alcohol in 100 millitres of blood. She was more than twice the legal alcohol limit, as the legal limit is 80 milligrammes. She had been drinking at lunch had a drink at a pub that night in shotley Gate with friend who had been celebrating his birthday and was drunk himself.

Mills, 28, confessed to drink driving, careless driving and driving a vehicle in dangerous condition when she appeared at South East Suffolk Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

She cried in the dock as District Judge David Cooper warned she could be jailed when she returns for sentencing next month. She was released on unconditional bail to return to court on November 13 for sentencing. She was given and interim driving ban. She said: “ She is sorry. She doesn’t care if she ever drives again, she’s not had a drop pf alcohol since.

Chief Inspector Martin Barnes-Smith, from Suffolk police’s roads policing unit, said: “ It is totally unacceptable to drink and drive. There is absolutely no excuse. –The chances of people getting caught nowadays are greater than they ever have been. No longer is it acceptable to make that choice.”

Miss Coxon was half way through the 20-minute walk to her home in Main Road in the village with her boyfriend Craig Morley, 33, and two friends after a night at the nearby Bristol Arms pub when Mills' Vauxhall Astra, driven by Kerri Mills, which was not fit for the road, slammed into her from behind.Mills, 28, of Wellesley Road, confessed to drink driving, careless driving and driving a vehicle in a dangerous condition when she appeared at South East Suffolk Magistrates' Court yesterday.

The DUI fatal injury to happen in any ones life is a great tragedy especially on the people who is at its receiving end! It is totally blamed on the drunk driver and the person meekly admits it and pleads guilty.

However the question is it the drunk driver alone responsible for the DUI? Of course if they are teenagers then the party host or the negligent parents or any person(s) who supplied them the alcohol drinks considered to be also responsible! Even in an adults case if he returning drunk from a bar or pub then its owners considered to be partly responsible.

And that’s the end. People don’t see further behind it! The basic question in all this is who license such a extremely dangerous alcohol drinks to the public consumption? Are they also not responsible at least partly for all these horrific drunk driving accidents?

Believe it or not! As long as the alcohol authorities continue to license those potentially dangerous alcohol drinks for the public consumption in the name of Standard Alcohol Drinks, the drunk driving mayhem going to continue more and less in this same manner No matter what Zero tolerance the authorities impose upon,. It only cover up the authorities alcohol research misconduct by making those alcohol vulnerable gullible people the DUI scapegoat

I have explained this matter in so many of my blog post in this month and the last month citing many of the DUI news reports. To know more on this subject matter read the following most important papers in my blog WebPages:

I am Vikki Coxon from shotley, i was not a fatal injury victim i am very much alive thank you!!!
I WAS almost killed by a drink driver and am still recovering from my horrific injuries, but how do you think people who know me would feel to see this site and be told i was dead? what you have done is very insensitive and you need to get your facts right. By the Way the only person to blame in these cases is the drink driver. they are the ones who get drunk and choose to drive.
