This powerful documentary is a plea for not mixing drinking and driving. It questions, as well, the leniency with which offenders are treated. Bert Robertson tells a youthful driver's education class how his eight-year-old son was killed in his own driveway by a drunk driver. Stock footage reconstructs a tragic story that was not just an accident.
