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.

Do Breathalyzers Discriminate Against Women? »
If you have been charged for DUI and if it has been shown by a breath test that your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .08% or higher, then you are guilty. Of course, it does not matter, whether you are a man or a women: there is no discrimination in law.
Maybe they should…
It has been found by the researchers at the University School of Medicine in Trieste, Italy, that the stomach lining contains an enzyme called gastric alcohol dehydrogenase that breaks down alcohol, and in women this enzyme is less than a men. In order to determine the relative effects of the enzyme, they gave alcohol both orally and intravenously to groups of alcoholic and non-alcoholic men and women.
It has been found that women reached the same levels of blood alcohol as men after drinking only half as much; having taken the weight differences into account, it has been founded by them that women reached BAC levels illegal in a DUI case after drinking 20 to 30 percent less alcohol than men.
The scientists’ concluded that when defining safe levels of drinking for driving motor vehicles legislatures may need to consider sex differences in drunk driving laws.
