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.
