Penalties for Driving Drunk »
Since 1980, several new DUI laws have been formulated to deal with drunk driving. Many NGOs and special organizations like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) have done a lot in this regard.
Some of these laws include ALR (Administrative License Revocation) and Zero tolerance laws which have been passed by the majority of states. ALR laws permits arresting officer to keep a driver’s license until he passes a breath test.
As the legal drinking age is 21 and legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.08 % in almost all states, therefore Zero tolerance laws have been passed to restrict the adult drivers from having a considerable alcohol concentration in their blood. Other penalties like fine money, license suspension period and number of days behind the bars have also been increased to deal the menace.

Ohio Woman Charged with 7th DUI After Injuring Three in Accident »
A woman in Ohio just received her 7th DUI, as she rammed her truck into the back of a stopped car, and injured three victims. Fortunately, the injuries of the three people in the car were not life threatening, but much worse could have happened.
The worst part is that she still has her license and thus the possibility of more accidents is still there. It’s a mockery of justice when someone so irresponsible is able to keep driving and putting people at risk. This accident signifies the fact that this woman should not be given the right to have a license.
The woman, Stephanie Foy, has already had six convictions on her record, before she was charged with the seventh one. A press release by Newsnet5 stated that Foy has been fined, placed behind bars, and even had her license suspended in the past due to infractions.
