> [@Carnut](#): > > Sometimes its not what you should do but what you have to do. Going the extra step and taking responsibility for someones negligance is social responsibility, even if you never get rewarded for it. Karma pays you back eventually. You made that drive home safer for everyone. > > Responsibility in general is something people don’t like to concern themselves with. It’s easier to say fuck it not my problem, the world needs more people who will stand up for what is right and take the proper action when the time comes. The world does have alot of people like this but they are in the background and rarely get recognition for their deeds. What you did was a small act but well worth it in that it could have averted some major incident. > > here here 🙂 :tup: :word:. Nobody takes responsability for their own actions anymore…it is sickening. You did the right thing man. I would have done the same thing in your shoes. I doubt you will get fired for not letting an obvious stumbling drunk have their car, if anything they should thank you for avoiding a possible lawsuit, and quite possably saving someone’s life. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lines-of-accepting-responsiblility-for-someone-else-question-drunk-driving/21379)._
