hmm, well I come at this from two different directions.
Firstly, when I was a kid my uncle hit and killed a guy on a bike that was sitting under a bridge at 3am without his lights on. My uncle had one drink but wasn't legally drunk and after a very long trial he did three days in jail. He is also a paramedic and tried to work on the guy when he realised he hit him so was in therapy for a good while.
Secondly, my husband is disabled as a result of being hit by a drunk driver. If you had anything in your system that you should not have had *OR* were overly tired I really don't have that much sympathy. Being overly tired behind the wheel is deadly and a 15 hour journey is a long journey after you have been partying for days.
However, if all was on the up and up you have to remember that someone lost a family member and one thing people do when they going through loss is lash out. You, are the face of their relatives death so they are lashing out. If you did nothing wrong you will be okay.
Thing is though, the things you have said here are on a public board. You never know who might see them and do you want that read by a lawyer? Especially the bits about being an old hag.
