Jessica Browning (FGCU): DUI Bust

Drinking and driving is one of the most dangerous things anyone can be involved in. It’s so dangerous it can lead to death. The problem is, is that a lot of people do it. I know more than three people that have been arrested for this issue. How do we stop it? We can’t. However, we can control it. Police are on the lookout every night (mostly weekends) of reckless drivers to pull over and then figuring out if they have been under hte influence or not. This topic is so relevant to everyday driving situations. The scary thing is, is that an innocent driver can be affected as well; in an accident. Of course, our society tries very hard to prevent drinking and driving by allowing new drivers to take educational courses and tests. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to stop young or older drivers from doing it. Even though it is seemed to believe that the younger drivers are more prevalant to this issue. Abovetheinfluence.com states that “In 2006, more than 19% of drivers ages 16 to 20 who died in motor vehicle crashes had been drinking alcohol.” I hope our society can discover different ways to prevent such a deadly issue in our world.
