Drunk Driving

Drunk driving is the third leading cause to automobile crashes. About 11,700 people died last year because of drive drivers, which is one third of all traffic related death.
In United States, the legal blood alcohol limit is .08. You may think that that is a little too low, but in some countries like Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania, it is illegal to drive with any amount of alcohol in your system.



The consequences of driving and driving can be severe, especially if you get in an accident. In order to prove that you are drunk, they can take a few tests. First, they will do the sobriety test where they will either have you attempt to walk in a straight line or repeat the alphabet backwards. If that doesn't work, they can take a blood alcohol test, where in the state of New York, the limit it .08. The consequences of driving drunk can be a huge fine, lice revocation, or possible jail time. None of these are fun.

What is your opinion on driving drunk?
