The DUI Trap
Recently in Connecticut, MADD put on a drinking demonstration for legislators. One of the legislators consumed three and half glasses of wine and felt fine to drive… one problem, she was .15. While MADD used this as an opportunity to demonstrate that people can be .15 and still feel fine to drive, but be dangerous, it clearly illustrates how hard it is for people to know when they are “above the limit.” The line drawn in the sand by our government is difficult to determine in a social setting and sets up otherwise innocent citizens for prosecution. Our government needs to determine a way for citizen’s to test themselves prior to driving so that they do not unwarily become a DUI arrest statistic.
