A post on Facebook allegedly made by a 22-year-old woman who’s charged with impaired driving causing death makes a joke out of a classic drunk driving campaign.
The dated police R.I.D.E. campaign asks people not to drink and drive, and gives them they’re going home in a police car, an ambulance, a bus or a cab. The jokes on Facebook is: “How about option 5, my car?”
he Instagram account, @dashe4ka93, identified online and in the media as belonging to the 22-year-old woman, seems to glorify drinking and driving with numerous photos of booze and fast cars, a bottle of wine in a car and a speedometer marking 202.5 km/h.
The posts have caused outrage on the internet since Darya Selinevich was charged with seven offences, for allegedly fatally hitting a 44-year-old cyclist at Finch and Yonge early Thursday morning, and fleeing the scene.
The social media accounts have since been closed to the public.
Court records indicate that Selinevich lost her licence last month for driving with a blood alcohol level over 80 milligrams per 100 milligrams of blood in September 2014.
A Facebook profile under the name Dasha Selinevich appears to have posts from 2012 that touch upon impaired driving. A person who described herself as having mutual Facebook friends with Selinevich confirmed the profile belonged to the arrested woman.
