Notes on Drinking and Driving
1. A person can be guilty of drunk driving even if technically he isn’t drunk. Being drunk is normally defined as a state when the person can’t even walk straight anymore. However, impairment of the senses to a degree that constitutes criminal driving may come before the person gets drunk.
2. If you are caught and convicted of drunk driving, regardless of whether you have an alcohol problem or not, it is assumed that you do. Treatment for alcoholism and the corresponding education will be required before your license to drive will be approved.
3. If you have company who is drunk but doesn’t know or won’t admit it, you may either refuse to ride with him, force him to give you his car keys and drive him home or call a cab and prop him into it. 4. Along the same line, if you are giving a party, make sure you confiscate all car keys when the guests come in. Don’t allow anyone who is not sober to get back his keys, drive him home yourself or put him in a cab. 5. Drunken driving conviction normally increases what you have to pay for car insurance.
Alcohol makes people inadequate. Well, there is nothing wrong with sipping beer with friends in a bar or having several tequila shots at a party, as long as you do not turn violent or anti-social. Alcohol helps relax. In some cases moderate alcohol consumption even good for our bodies. Sometimes we can see people saying: “So what! I had 3 beers and I can drive now. I am OK!” Well, he or he is not. Alcohol makes reaction slower, and we know that every second matters if you drive a car at 60 mph
Police and news reports are known as the best sources for drinking and driving papers. You can also study legislative acts and statistic information. It will be very helpful if you present up to date stats on number of car accidents involving DUI. As already said, police reports can serve as a very informative source. Every your statement supported by a fact or figure will look even more persuasive. Ask your local police
