DUI, Drunk Driving Arrest Consequences
By
David J. Stewart
"Their feet run to
evil, and they make hast to shed innocent blood: their thoughts
are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their
paths." —Isaiah 59:7
One out of three – Those are the odds you and
every other American have of being involved in
an alcohol related car crash sometime in your
life.
Drunk
driving accidents injure someone every two
minutes; worse, every 30 minutes, they kill
someone. Each one of those injuries and deaths
is preventable; but, the consequences of drunk
driving continue to worry us.
Over
97% of Americans view drunk driving as a threat
to their lives and families. Unfortunately, most
of us are aware of what can happen to the
victims of drunk drivers.
But
what are the consequences of drunk driving for
the person behind the wheel? Assuming the
alcohol impaired driver is still alive at the
end of the night, he faces serious legal action
and punishment.
Law
enforcement officers will first determine the
driver’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC)
through a breath, blood or urine test. A
breathscan kit is usually the quickest way for
police to take an accurate measure of the
driver’s BAC.
If a
drinking driver’s BAC is over the legal limit of
0.08, his driver’s license may be suspended or
revoked for anywhere from a week to years.
Vehicle sanctions may require the offender’s car
include a specially marked license plate or even
an interlock device that prevents the car from
starting unless the driver passes a breathscan
test. The car may even be impounded,
confiscated, or sold.
A
convicted drunk driver also faces fines
(sometimes in the thousands of dollars), jail
time, increased insurance costs, attorney fees,
court costs, lost time from work, and other
penalties that vary from state to state.
Zero
tolerance laws are even tougher on underage
drunk drivers. Young adults, under 21 years of
age, can lose their license for a full year if
they are found to have consumed even a small
amount of alcohol. If a person under age 21 is
tested and found to be over the legal limit of
0.08, he can be arrested, convicted of drunk
driving and tried as an adult.
Though
drunk drivers face punishments as serious as
jail time, the consequences of their actions do
not generally deter them from getting behind the
wheel. One out of three of us will eventually
get in their way.
Some
ways to help:
-
Don't drink and drive and don't let friends
do it either.
-
Become a designated driver.
-
Become an advocate of breath alcohol
testing. Ask bar owners, restaurants, clubs,
schools and even employers to make a small
investment in a
coin operated breath analyzer. These
simple to use and inexpensive devices may be
the last chance for some people to decide
whether or not to drive after drinking.
For
one out of three of us, these could be life
saving solutions.
